A heavy, condensed display face with chunky stems and jagged, uneven terminals that frequently end in drip-like points and torn edges. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while curves are simplified into blunt, organic shapes that keep silhouettes bold and readable. The baseline and stroke endings feel intentionally distressed, with irregular notches and dangling tips that create a wet-ink or melting effect. Overall spacing is compact and rhythm is driven by strong verticals and abrupt, textured edges rather than smooth serifs.
Best suited to large-size applications where the jagged drips and rough terminals can be appreciated—titles, posters, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, and horror-themed game or streaming graphics. It can also work for short bursts of copy on packaging or stickers when a spooky, messy ink aesthetic is desired; it’s less appropriate for long-form reading due to the intentional distressing.
The letterforms project a classic horror mood—eerie and sinister—while the exaggerated drips and rough contours add a cheeky, Halloween-prop energy rather than a purely serious tone. It reads as theatrical and attention-grabbing, designed to signal suspense, monsters, and haunted-house fun at a glance.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror theming through bold silhouettes paired with dripping, eroded terminals—evoking slime, blood, or melting ink. Its condensed proportions and high visual mass suggest a focus on impact in display settings, with a consistent distressed texture to keep the mood uniform across letters and numbers.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed, dripping finish, giving text blocks a consistent, mottled edge along both baseline and cap line. The numerals and punctuation (as shown in the sample) maintain the same rough treatment, helping mixed content feel unified in headlines and short statements.
