A distressed display face built from thick, inky strokes that swell and pinch with uneven, organic contours. Terminals frequently taper into long, liquid-like drips, creating a vertical pull and a slightly unstable baseline rhythm. Counters are irregular and sometimes partially clogged, while curves and joins look hand-shaped rather than mechanically smooth. Overall spacing feels compact but not rigid, with letterforms varying in width and silhouette to enhance the handmade, distressed effect.
Ideal for short, attention-grabbing copy such as Halloween promotions, haunted house flyers, horror film posters, and game or chapter titles. It also works for packaging accents and social graphics where a dripping, “ooze” texture is desirable, especially in high-contrast black-on-light applications.
The font projects a classic horror tone—wet, oozing, and unsettling—while retaining a playful, B-movie sensibility. Its drips and ragged edges evoke slime, blood, or melting paint, making text feel ominous and theatrically suspenseful rather than refined or understated.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-inked lettering that has begun to melt or drip, combining bold silhouettes with intentionally degraded edges. Its goal is quick thematic recognition—communicating horror and creepiness instantly—rather than neutral readability in long passages.
The strongest visual signature is the repeated droplet motif on many verticals and terminals, which creates a consistent texture across caps, lowercase, and numerals. At text sizes the rough edges and irregular counters become the dominant texture, so the design reads best when given room to breathe and enough size for the silhouette to carry.
