A heavy, display-oriented face with irregular, carved-looking outlines and frequent drip-like terminals that pull downward into thin points. Strokes vary sharply between thick masses and hairline tails, producing a choppy, high-energy texture. Counters are uneven and sometimes pinched, while shoulders and joins appear jagged rather than smoothly rounded. Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent, adding a handmade, distressed rhythm that becomes more pronounced in longer lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, cover art, and promotional graphics for horror or Halloween themes. It also works well for party invitations, haunted attraction signage, and product labels where a dripping, distressed texture is part of the concept. For readability, use generous size and moderate tracking, and avoid dense paragraphs.
The overall tone is sinister and theatrical, evoking horror props, slime drips, and haunted-house signage. Its rough edges and dangling terminals create an unsettling, suspenseful mood while still reading as stylized and fun rather than purely brutal. The look lands squarely in seasonal, fright-night territory.
Designed to deliver an immediate spooky signal through dripping terminals, broken contours, and aggressive contrast, prioritizing atmosphere and character over neutral legibility. The irregular widths and rough edges suggest a hand-cut or ink-bleed aesthetic meant to feel organic and slightly chaotic on purpose.
Uppercase forms tend to be tall and imposing, while lowercase keeps a large x-height and maintains the same dripping motif for strong continuity. Numerals carry the same distressed silhouettes, making the set cohesive for titles that mix letters and numbers. At smaller sizes, the ragged detailing can visually fill in, so it reads best when given room to breathe.
