A heavy display face built from compact, condensed letterforms with chunky verticals and small interior counters. The outlines are intentionally irregular, with rough edges and frequent downward drips that create a wet-ink or melting silhouette. Strokes end in abrupt nicks and tapered points, and the baseline is made lively by uneven, hanging terminals. Uppercase and lowercase share a consistent, blocky construction, while numerals keep the same dense weight and distressed, dripping finish.
Best used for Halloween and horror-themed titles, poster headlines, haunted-attraction signage, album/track art, and game or stream branding where a strong, graphic silhouette is needed. It also works well on packaging or labels for spooky seasonal products, especially when set large with generous spacing.
The overall tone is ominous and theatrical, leaning into classic horror-poster energy with a playful, B‑movie sensibility. The dripping forms evoke slime, blood, or melting wax, giving headlines a tense, uneasy charge while staying bold and readable at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a bold, condensed structure paired with dripping, distressed terminals. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over typographic neutrality, aiming for a recognizable horror texture that reads quickly in headline contexts.
Texture is integral to the design: the irregular contour and droplet shapes are consistent across the set, so repeated letters create a cohesive “drip rhythm.” Counters can close up in smaller details due to the heavy weight and distressed edges, making it better suited to short lines than long reading.
