A heavy display face built from irregular, ink-blot silhouettes with pronounced drip terminals and torn, eroded edges. Strokes swell and pinch unpredictably, creating sharp contrast between thick masses and thin, dangling strands. Counters are small and often lumpy, and the baseline feels uneven due to frequent descenders and hanging droplets. Overall spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, distressed rhythm.
Best suited to short bursts of text where the silhouette can carry the message—posters, party promotions, scary-movie titling, game splash screens, and attention-grabbing headers. It also works well for logos or badges in horror-themed packaging, provided generous size and spacing are used to maintain legibility.
The dripping contours and ragged texture evoke blood, slime, and decay, giving the font an immediate horror and shock-poster attitude. Its exaggerated weight and uneven rhythm push it toward theatrical, B-movie creepiness rather than subtle suspense, projecting a loud, ominous tone that reads as intentionally unsettling.
The design appears intended to mimic wet, dripping paint or coagulated liquid, combining chunky letterforms with dangling terminals to create instant genre signaling. Its irregular widths and distressed edges suggest an aim for handcrafted grime and visual noise over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed vocabulary, keeping the style consistent across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same dripping logic, with heavy forms and droplet-like cutouts that preserve the grungy silhouette at headline sizes.
