A heavy, condensed display face with irregular, hand-cut contours and dramatic drip-like terminals. Strokes are compact and blocky through the verticals, while bottoms often taper into uneven points and droplets, creating a melting/oozing silhouette. Counters are generally tight and simplified, and letterforms show intentional distortion and asymmetry that keeps repetition lively without losing overall consistency. Spacing appears dense, with narrow internal and external gaps that emphasize a dark, inked-in texture across words.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as horror or Halloween posters, haunted attraction signage, game or film title cards, and promotional flyers where mood is the primary goal. It will perform most convincingly at larger sizes where the drips and ragged details can read clearly, and where tight spacing can be managed with generous line breaks or tracking adjustments.
The type conveys a classic haunted-house tone—part midnight movie poster, part Halloween prop signage. Its dripping edges and sharp, torn finishes suggest menace and decay, while the exaggerated shapes keep it readable enough to feel playful rather than truly grim. The overall impression is theatrical and attention-seeking, designed to set an ominous mood instantly.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a bold, condensed structure paired with dripping, distressed terminals. It prioritizes silhouette and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for maximum impact in themed display settings.
The dripping treatment is most prominent on baseline terminals and lower curves, producing a strong silhouette effect at larger sizes. Numerals match the same distressed, droplet-ended language, making the set feel cohesive for titles and date-based graphics.
