A heavy, inked display face with irregular, blobby contours and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are chunky with uneven edges and occasional internal nicks, giving counters a rough, worn look. The overall construction stays upright and compact, while individual letters vary in width and silhouette, creating a lively, slightly chaotic rhythm. Numerals and caps share the same rugged, melting texture, with simplified forms that prioritize impact over refinement.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror movie or podcast artwork, and dramatic title cards. It also fits game UI headings, album/merch graphics, and themed packaging where a grimy, dripping texture is part of the concept.
The texture and drips evoke a classic horror-prop aesthetic—like wet paint, slime, or stamped ink—delivering an ominous, grimy tone. Its imperfections read intentional and theatrical, making it feel more like a set-piece or poster title than everyday typography.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated weight and dripping, distressed edges, mimicking melting ink or slime. It prioritizes atmosphere and bold silhouette recognition, aiming for memorable display typography rather than neutral readability.
At smaller sizes, the distressed edges and narrowed openings can visually fill in, while at larger sizes the dripping details become a defining feature. Round letters (O, Q, 0, 8) emphasize the organic, pooled-ink feel, and the overall spacing reads tight and punchy in lines of text.
