A heavy, inked display face with irregular, blobby strokes and frequent drip-like terminals. Letterforms are mostly upright with compact proportions and a slightly uneven baseline feel created by hanging droplets and rough edges. Counters are generally open and rounded, while joins and ends look chewed or torn, producing a textured silhouette that reads more like painted signage than geometric type. The overall rhythm is lively and inconsistent in detail, with each glyph carrying small variations that reinforce a hand-made, distressed look.
Best suited for short display settings where the drips and rough contours can be clearly seen—titles, headers, poster headlines, and packaging for seasonal or horror-themed projects. It can also work for game screens or streaming thumbnails when the goal is an immediate spooky cue rather than extended reading.
The font communicates a spooky, B-movie horror mood through its oozing ends and ragged contours. It balances menace with a tongue-in-cheek, Halloween-party energy—more theatrical than truly sinister. The dripping texture adds suspense and grime, giving words a sense of motion and unease.
Designed to mimic thick paint or ink that has pooled and run, turning simple uppercase and lowercase forms into expressive silhouettes. The intent appears to be instant thematic signaling—evoking ooze, slime, and worn signage—while keeping shapes familiar enough for quick recognition in headline use.
Digits and punctuation keep the same drippy finishing, maintaining a cohesive theme across the set. At smaller sizes the interior notches and roughness can visually fill in, so it reads best when given room to show its silhouette.
