A distressed, display-oriented sans with heavy, rounded silhouettes and irregular, ragged edges that break into drip-like terminals. Strokes stay generally thick with subtle, uneven thinning and thickening that reads as organic wear rather than formal modulation. Counters are often partially clogged or textured, and the outline wobble gives each glyph a slightly different footprint, producing a lively, variable rhythm across a line. The character set remains broadly legible at headline sizes, with simplified construction and minimal interior detail beyond the roughened contour.
Best suited for short, high-contrast applications like horror or Halloween promotions, haunted-house signage, themed event flyers, game titles, and cover art where texture is a feature. It works especially well when you want instant atmosphere in headlines, logos, or punchy callouts, and is less appropriate for long-form reading where the distressed contour could fatigue the eye.
The font conveys a classic horror mood—wet ink, slime, or bleeding paint—tempered by a playful, B-movie sensibility. Its rough texture and dangling terminals feel ominous and messy rather than sharp or gothic, creating an immediate “spooky poster” tone that’s attention-grabbing and theatrical.
The design appears intended to provide an immediately recognizable horror texture through drip-like terminals and roughened outlines while preserving enough structure for quick headline legibility. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over refinement, aiming for a handcrafted, messy finish that reads clearly in large sizes.
In the sample text, the distressed edges and drip forms become the dominant visual feature, so spacing and texture read as part of the style rather than typographic neutrality. The numerals and lowercase maintain the same drippy treatment, supporting consistent use across titles that mix letters and digits.
