A heavy, ink-splattered display face with irregular, blobby silhouettes and ragged contours. Strokes look hand-rendered, with frequent notches, bumps, and small drip-like terminals that create a torn-edge texture. Letterforms are mostly upright with simplified construction, rounded counters, and uneven joins, producing a lively, slightly unstable rhythm. Spacing and widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, reinforcing the handmade, distressed feel while maintaining clear, bold shapes for short text.
Best suited for display applications where texture is part of the message: Halloween promotions, horror or thriller titles, haunted attraction signage, and themed posters. It can also work for punchy UI labels in spooky games or for short headlines on flyers and social graphics, especially when paired with a simpler body text font.
The overall tone reads as spooky and mischievous rather than strictly grim—evoking slime, ooze, and splattered paint. Its rough edges and drooping details suggest horror-comedy, haunted-house signage, and monster-movie title cards. The texture adds tension and grit, while the rounded forms keep it approachable and theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver instant atmosphere through silhouette and edge treatment, prioritizing dramatic texture and character over neutral readability. It aims to mimic dripping paint or oozing ink while keeping letterforms recognizable for quick headline impact.
The distressed perimeter is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive “dripping ink” identity. Numerals share the same blobby mass and irregular terminals, helping mixed text feel unified. The texture is pronounced enough that small sizes or long passages may feel busy compared with cleaner display styles.
