A jagged display face with sharply tapered strokes and irregular, ink-like edges throughout. Letterforms are narrow-to-variable in their internal widths, with frequent teardrop terminals, hook-like spurs, and drip motifs that extend below baselines or hang from joins. Contrast is pronounced, shifting from swollen blobs to hairline points, creating a rough hand-rendered rhythm. Counters are often pinched or partially open, and curves are distorted into angular, clawed silhouettes; overall spacing reads loose and uneven by design, emphasizing a distressed texture over uniform typographic color.
Best suited to short display settings such as posters, title cards, packaging accents, and event graphics where an overtly spooky atmosphere is desired. It works especially well for horror game UI headings, streaming thumbnails, haunted house promotions, and themed social graphics, and is less appropriate for long-form text where its distressed details can overwhelm legibility.
The font projects a horror-forward tone: tense, unsettling, and theatrical, with a sense of oozing ink and sharpened claws. Its erratic contours and dripping terminals suggest decay, danger, and supernatural menace, making even simple text feel ominous and animated.
The design appears intended to mimic hand-drawn, dripping brush or ink marks with exaggerated spikes and tapering, prioritizing mood and texture over typographic neutrality. Its consistent use of drips and hooked terminals suggests a deliberate, theme-driven display font built for dramatic, attention-grabbing headlines.
Capitals are tall and expressive with dramatic internal notches and occasional interior slashes, while lowercase forms keep a similarly uneven, hand-cut look that can reduce clarity at smaller sizes. Numerals echo the same droplet terminals and scratchy tapering, visually cohesive with the alphabet. The overall texture becomes denser in paragraphs, reading best when given room to breathe and adequate size.
