A condensed display face with tall, tapering forms and strongly uneven stroke behavior. Many terminals end in sharp points or elongated drips, giving the silhouettes a wet-ink, melting quality. Curves are slightly irregular and the counters vary from open to pinched, producing a restless rhythm across words. The overall texture is high-impact and jagged, with occasional splatter-like notches and distressed edges that read clearly at larger sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as titles, headers, poster typography, and packaging where the dripping detail can be appreciated. It works well for seasonal promotions, haunted attractions, spooky game UI moments, or film/episode titling. Avoid long body text, as the distressed terminals and narrow rhythm can become visually busy at small sizes.
The letterforms project a classic horror tone—uneasy, sinister, and theatrical—more like a vintage monster-poster or haunted-house sign than a modern thriller. The dripping terminals add a visceral, “fresh paint” menace, while the stylized irregularities keep it playful enough for campy seasonal graphics.
The design appears intended to evoke dripping ink or blood with sharp, tapering strokes and distressed contours, creating immediate genre recognition. Its condensed proportions and strong silhouettes prioritize impact and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming to deliver a bold horror flavor in display applications.
Capitals have a prominent, poster-like presence with narrow interiors, while lowercase maintains legibility through simple skeletons despite the added drips. Numerals echo the same pointed, melting terminals, keeping a consistent texture across mixed content. Spacing looks intentionally tight, reinforcing a claustrophobic, suspenseful feel in lines of text.
