A display face built from chunky, irregular strokes with pronounced drip terminals and pooled, blotted joins. Letterforms keep mostly upright skeletons but vary in contour from glyph to glyph, with uneven curves, rough edges, and occasional interior voids that read like ink breaks. The silhouette dominates: heavy top strokes often sag into dangling drops, while counters are rounded and sometimes partially occluded by the texture. Spacing and widths feel lively and inconsistent in a deliberate way, emphasizing a hand-formed, messy rhythm over strict modularity.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as headlines, posters, packaging accents, and on-screen titles where the dripping texture can be appreciated. It works well for seasonal promotions, haunted attractions, horror-comedy branding, and game/UI splash screens, especially when paired with a clean sans for body copy.
The overall tone is ominous and gooey, evoking slime, blood, or wet paint and the visual language of classic horror props. Its roughness reads as intentionally theatrical rather than refined, giving it a playful, haunted-house energy that can swing from creepy to camp depending on color and context.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror atmosphere through exaggerated drip terminals, blotted counters, and uneven stroke edges, prioritizing mood and silhouette over neutrality. Its consistent texturing across cases and numerals suggests a purpose-built display font for themed branding and titling rather than extended reading.
At larger sizes the drip details and edge breakup become the main character; in longer passages the texture can visually accumulate and reduce clarity. Numerals follow the same drippy, irregular treatment, matching the caps and lowercase for cohesive titling.
