A heavy, condensed display face with chunky, irregular silhouettes and pronounced “drip” terminals that hang from many strokes. Letterforms are largely upright with compact counters and uneven edges, creating a cutout-like texture. Strokes tend to end in tapered, dangling shapes and rough notches, giving the baseline a consistently distressed, melting contour. Spacing feels tight and energetic, and the overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent to emphasize a handmade, messy effect.
Best used for short, high-impact text such as titles, poster headlines, Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, or dramatic pull quotes. It can also work for packaging or social graphics where a dripping/ooze effect is part of the theme, but it’s most effective when given room and set large.
The dripping, distressed shapes evoke classic scare-media aesthetics—suggesting slime, melting ink, or dripping paint. It reads as playful horror rather than elegant, with a loud, attention-grabbing tone suited to sensational or tongue-in-cheek messaging.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate “dripping/melting” special effect while keeping letter skeletons familiar enough to read quickly in headlines. Its irregular edges and hanging terminals prioritize texture and mood over typographic neutrality, making it a deliberate decorative choice for themed display work.
The dripping detail is a defining motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating strong silhouette recognition at display sizes. Because the interior spaces are small and the edges are noisy, readability can drop quickly at smaller sizes or in dense paragraphs, especially where drips visually merge between letters.
