A condensed, heavy display face built from thick vertical strokes and compact counters, with a deliberately uneven silhouette. Terminals soften into rounded blobs and taper into short drips, creating a wet-ink, melting effect along baselines and joins. Edges are ragged and organic rather than geometric, and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a jittery rhythm in words. The figures and capitals maintain simple, legible skeletons while the distressed contours add texture and movement.
Best suited to short, high-contrast applications where texture is an asset: Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, horror or thriller titles, and poster-style headlines. It can also work for labels, stickers, and game UI/graphics when used sparingly at display sizes.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, reading as classic horror with a playful, B-movie sensibility. The drip-like terminals and lumpy contours suggest slime, blood, or melting wax, giving headlines an intentionally unsettling, haunted-poster mood.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a condensed, high-impact skeleton paired with dripping, organic distress. It prioritizes atmosphere and texture over neutrality, aiming to look like ink that has bled and run while keeping letterforms recognizable for bold headlines.
Spacing appears tight and the narrow proportions concentrate the black mass, which increases impact in short bursts but can feel busy in longer lines. The dripping details are most visible at larger sizes; at small sizes they may merge into dense shapes, especially in round letters and enclosed counters.
