A heavy, rounded display face with chunky silhouettes and pronounced drip-like terminals. Strokes are mostly solid and blocky, with irregular, torn-looking lower edges and occasional internal nicks that create a distressed, inky texture. Curves are soft and bulbous while corners stay slightly blunt, producing a robust, poster-ready rhythm with intentionally uneven contours across glyphs. Numerals and lowercase follow the same drippy treatment, keeping a consistent, hand-melted look across the set.
Best suited for short, high-impact lines such as posters, titles, packaging callouts, and seasonal promotions where the drippy texture is a feature. It works especially well at large sizes on high-contrast backgrounds; for extended copy, the distressed edges can reduce clarity, so pairing with a simpler text face is advisable.
The dripping edges and blobby massing evoke classic horror and Halloween signage—more campy than sinister. It reads as gooey and mischievous, with a DIY, monster-movie energy that feels loud, messy, and attention-grabbing.
Designed to deliver an immediate novelty effect through exaggerated weight and drip-shaped terminals, mimicking melting paint or slime. The goal is strong shelf-and-screen presence with a themed, theatrical tone rather than neutral readability.
The silhouette-driven design favors impact over precision: counters can get tight in smaller sizes, and the distressed cut-ins add visual noise that increases with longer text. The texture appears integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as a separate overlay, giving the face a cohesive “melting ink” identity.
