A heavy display face with compact, blocky letterforms and an irregular, hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel but intentionally roughened, with jagged notches and frequent downward drips that create a wet-ink or melting edge. Counters are simple and sometimes pinched or uneven, while terminals vary between blunt chops and tapered, torn-looking ends. Overall spacing and widths fluctuate noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a handmade, distressed rhythm rather than a polished geometric structure.
Best suited for short, attention-grabbing copy such as horror and Halloween titles, poster headlines, party invitations, and event flyers. It also works well for game branding, spooky packaging accents, and on-screen graphics where the dripping texture can be shown at display sizes.
The font projects a classic horror-poster mood with a theatrical, Halloween-friendly edge. Its dripping contours and ragged texture suggest slime, blood, or melting paint, balancing menace with a tongue-in-cheek, B‑movie sensibility. The uneven edges add nervous energy and a slightly chaotic tone that reads as spooky rather than refined.
Likely designed to evoke dripping ink and torn edges associated with classic horror typography, prioritizing atmosphere and immediacy over neutrality. The variable silhouettes and distressed contouring aim to create instant thematic recognition in headlines and logo-like wordmarks.
The drips are most pronounced on baselines and lower bowls, giving lines of text a scalloped, hanging silhouette. At smaller sizes the distressed details start to merge, while at larger sizes the texture becomes a key part of the visual identity.
