A compact, heavy display face built from thick vertical strokes and uneven, hand-cut curves. Many terminals extend into tapered drips that hang below the baseline, creating a strongly downward rhythm. Edges are irregular and slightly wavy, with occasional notch-like bites and rough interior counters that add a distressed, ink-blotted texture. Spacing is tight and the letterforms vary subtly in width, reinforcing an organic, handmade look.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as Halloween promotions, haunted house signage, horror film-style titles, and game or streaming overlays. It works especially well when you want the letterforms themselves to contribute atmosphere, and when used at medium-to-large sizes where the drips and rough edges can be read clearly.
The dripping terminals and ragged contours evoke horror poster tropes—suggesting slime, blood, or melting ink—while the rounded skeleton keeps it readable and slightly tongue-in-cheek. Overall, it delivers a spooky, mischievous tone that feels theatrical rather than sterile or technical.
The design appears intended to mimic dripping paint or blood on a bold, condensed display skeleton, prioritizing silhouette impact and mood over refinement. Its irregular texture and varied drip lengths suggest a handcrafted horror effect meant to feel animated and unsettling on the page.
The drip effects are applied inconsistently across glyphs in a deliberate way, so texture and silhouette vary from character to character. Numerals and punctuation follow the same dripping logic, helping headings and short bursts of text maintain a cohesive, macabre surface.
