A display face built from heavy, brush-like strokes with sharp tapers and irregular, inked edges. Many terminals end in elongated drips and spikes, giving the outlines a wet, bleeding silhouette. Letterforms are compact with uneven widths and lively stroke modulation, creating a restless rhythm and a hand-made, horror-prop texture. Counters are generally small and the joins are blunt or slightly smeared, with subtle forward-leaning energy across the set.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween posters, haunted-house promos, title cards, streaming thumbnails, and game or event graphics. It can also work for album art, merch, and packaging where an inky, dripping texture is the main visual hook; for readability, keep sizes large and line lengths short.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, evoking dripping paint, slime, or fresh ink. It reads as playful-horror rather than solemn, with a jump-scare poster energy that feels loud, gritty, and intentionally unrefined.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-painted or brush-lettered signage that has begun to run, combining thick strokes with droplet-like terminals to deliver an immediate horror cue. Irregular spacing and varied drips prioritize expressive texture and atmosphere over text economy, making it a purpose-built display option for themed branding and punchy headlines.
The drip details vary from glyph to glyph, which adds character but also increases visual noise in longer passages. The numerals share the same taper-and-drip treatment, helping headlines and date callouts feel consistent with the letters.
