A condensed, heavy display face with tall proportions and compact counters. Strokes are solid and mostly upright, with a chiseled, irregular outline that creates a cut-paper silhouette rather than smooth curves. Many glyphs feature downward “drip” terminals and ragged bottoms, giving the baseline a deliberately uneven, grimy texture. Widths vary noticeably between letters, and interior shapes are tight, helping the set read as a dense, poster-like block while maintaining clear uppercase/lowercase distinction.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as posters, titles, cover art, and promotional graphics where the dripping texture can read clearly. It’s a strong fit for seasonal Halloween materials, horror-themed events, haunted attractions, or stylized game/stream branding. Use with generous tracking and simple supporting type to keep the distressed edges from overwhelming longer copy.
The overall tone is dark and theatrical, with a pulpy horror energy that feels more Halloween and B-movie than truly sinister. The dripping details add a gooey, haunted-house mood, while the consistent condensed rhythm keeps it punchy and attention-grabbing. Its rough edges suggest decay, ink bleed, or worn signage, reinforcing an unsettling, grunge-leaning atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate horror-flavored signal through dripping terminals and distressed contours, while staying legible in bold, condensed headline situations. Its consistent vertical stance and tight interiors prioritize impact and a unified “gooey” texture across the alphabet and numerals.
At larger sizes the distressed contours and drip terminals become the primary texture; at smaller sizes those details can merge, making the face feel heavier and more abstract. Numerals follow the same irregular, dripping treatment, supporting cohesive headline styling across text and numbers.
