A heavy display face built from chunky, compact letterforms with irregular, melted-looking terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but the outlines are intentionally distressed, with scooped counters and jagged edges that create a torn silhouette. Many glyphs feature downward “drips” and dangling spikes, producing a lively baseline texture and uneven bottoms across the alphabet. Spacing is fairly tight and the set reads best at larger sizes where the interior cutouts and drip details remain clear.
Use it for short, punchy lines such as Halloween headlines, haunted house promotions, horror-comedy posters, party invitations, and spooky game or stream overlays. It can also work for packaging or labels that want an “ooze” motif, but it’s less suited to long passages where the distressed edges and drips may reduce readability.
The font conveys a classic spooky, creature-feature tone—like wet ink, slime, or oozing paint. Its playful roughness keeps it more theatrical than truly menacing, making it well-suited to fun scares and seasonal atmospheres.
The design appears intended to mimic liquid drips and deteriorated edges while keeping recognizable letter skeletons. It prioritizes silhouette and atmosphere over typographic neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic impact in display settings.
The dripping forms introduce significant variation from glyph to glyph, so word shapes feel animated and restless. Numerals and capitals match the same gooey silhouette, giving headings a consistent, poster-like impact.
