A heavy display face built from chunky, irregular strokes with pronounced drip-like terminals and torn, ragged edges. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact interior counters and frequent spikes or stalactite shapes descending from bowls and cross-strokes. The silhouette is uneven and organic, with deliberate contour wobble that mimics smeared ink and viscous drips; this creates strong black mass and highly textured outlines. Uppercase and lowercase share the same distressed vocabulary, and numerals follow the same dripping, blotted construction for a consistent set.
Ideal for horror and Halloween headlines, haunted attraction branding, thriller or monster-movie titles, and atmospheric game UI or chapter headings. It also suits short, high-impact callouts on posters, social graphics, and packaging where the dripping texture can be showcased. Use sparingly in body copy, and favor generous tracking and larger sizes to preserve legibility.
The font evokes classic horror ephemera—like hand-painted haunted-house signage or dripping title cards—mixing menace with a playful, theatrical quality. The repeated drip motifs and jagged edges signal danger, decay, and suspense, leaning into a pulpy, cinematic fright tone rather than a refined gothic mood.
The design intention appears to be instant genre signaling through a bold, dripping silhouette and distressed edges—creating a recognizable “ooze/terror” texture that reads quickly in display settings. Consistent drip terminals across letters and numbers suggest a focus on cohesive horror theming for titles and branding.
Texture is a defining feature: the distressed edges and dangling terminals create visual noise that reads best at medium-to-large sizes. In longer lines of text, the dripping details add atmosphere but can reduce clarity, especially where counters tighten or drips visually merge with nearby strokes.
