A condensed display face built from tall, blade-like strokes with extreme thick–thin contrast and sharply tapered terminals. Many letters end in elongated drip forms that trail below the baseline, creating an uneven, organic silhouette and a slightly distressed edge quality. Curves are narrow and pinched, counters tend to be tight, and the rhythm alternates between rigid verticals and sudden hooked or notched intrusions that feel like cuts in the strokes. Overall spacing reads compact, with irregular descender lengths and jagged details that add visual noise at smaller sizes.
Best suited to short, attention-grabbing settings such as horror film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house flyers, album art, and game or streaming key art. It performs strongest at headline sizes where the drips, spikes, and high-contrast cuts remain clear and contribute to the intended atmosphere.
The font projects a sinister, haunted tone—like wet ink, claw marks, or candlelit gothic signage. The dripping terminals and sharp spikes suggest danger and decay, making the text feel tense and theatrical rather than neutral or friendly.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated verticality, razor-thin tapers, and ink-drip terminals, prioritizing mood and texture over neutrality. Its irregular descender drips and jagged stroke interruptions are crafted to make even simple words feel unsettling and dramatic.
Uppercase forms are especially tall and commanding, while the lowercase keeps a compact, slightly medieval calligraphic flavor that amplifies the eerie texture in running text. Numerals and punctuation follow the same dripping terminal logic, helping headings and short phrases maintain a consistent horror-styled voice.
