A distressed display face built from heavy, compact forms with irregular, torn contours. Strokes appear uneven and eroded, with frequent spikes, notches, and downward drips that create a wet-ink or melting silhouette. Counters are tight and often jagged, and terminals end abruptly with splatters or sharp tapering points. The texture is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, producing a deliberately unstable rhythm while keeping letter shapes recognizable at display sizes.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as titles, wordmarks, poster headlines, and event branding where the dripping texture can read clearly. It fits horror and Halloween campaigns, spooky game/UI title treatments, and dramatic packaging or album artwork. For longer passages, it’s more effective as an accent paired with a simpler text face.
The font projects an eerie, threatening tone with a pulpy, grindhouse sensibility. Its drips and shredded edges evoke decay, slime, and midnight horror, leaning more toward dramatic, theatrical scares than subtle suspense. The overall impression is loud, confrontational, and atmospherically dark.
The design appears intended to mimic torn paper or oozing paint, translating classic horror signifiers into a bold display alphabet. Its goal is immediate mood-setting through aggressive texture, drips, and jagged silhouettes while maintaining enough structure for quick recognition in headline settings.
The alphabet shows intentionally inconsistent edge noise and silhouette variation, which adds character but can reduce clarity as sizes get smaller or when letters are tightly spaced. The numerals carry the same dripping distress, making them well suited for stylized dates or episode/issue numbering when set large.
