A heavy, rounded display face built from thick strokes and soft corners, with irregular lower terminals that break into drip-like protrusions. The silhouette stays compact and tall, while counters are small-to-medium and often pinched by the weight. Edges are mostly smooth rather than jagged, and the dripping details are applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a wet-ink rhythm. Spacing appears moderately tight in text, with the decorative drips adding a textured baseline that varies from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to short, high-impact headlines for seasonal and horror-themed materials such as posters, flyers, and social graphics. It also works well for title cards, packaging accents, and event signage where the dripping baseline texture can read clearly at display sizes.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, evoking classic monster-movie titles, slime, and haunted-house signage. Despite the macabre dripping motif, the rounded forms keep it approachable and slightly cartoonish, making it feel more fun-and-fright than truly grim.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through a bold, rounded structure paired with a consistent dripping effect. It prioritizes silhouette impact and themed texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for quick recognition in display settings.
The drip treatment is strongest on bottom terminals and bowls, producing a lively, uneven baseline that becomes a defining texture in words. The letterforms remain legible at larger sizes, but the dense weight and small counters suggest avoiding very small settings where the interior spaces may close up.
