A heavy display face built from compact, irregular silhouettes with ragged edges and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are largely monoline in feel but intentionally broken up by bites, holes, and uneven contours, creating a distressed, ink-bleed texture. Counters are often partially occluded or notched, and joins tend to be blunt and lumpy rather than crisp. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall rhythm is jittery, with small variations in width and contour from glyph to glyph that emphasize a hand-made, horror-prop look.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as titles, headlines, event posters, haunted house promotions, and packaging that benefits from a grimy, dripping aesthetic. It also works well for game UI title screens, streaming thumbnails, and album or mixtape covers where texture and mood matter more than continuous readability.
The font projects a spooky, B-movie horror tone—part slime, part torn-paper stencil—reading as mischievous rather than elegant. Its drips and roughened interiors evoke decay, haunted signage, and theatrical fright-night graphics. The overall effect is energetic and unsettling, designed to feel loud and attention-grabbing.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable horror flavor through dripping terminals and distressed, eroded contours, prioritizing atmosphere and visual texture over typographic neutrality. It aims to mimic messy paint or ink and create a handcrafted fright aesthetic suitable for display settings.
Uppercase forms are especially chunky and poster-like, while lowercase retains the same distressed DNA with simplified, rounded shapes. Numerals follow the same dripping treatment and maintain strong presence at display sizes. The rough texture reduces clarity at small sizes, where notches and cut-ins can close up.
