A heavy, display-oriented serif with chunky stems and softened, blobby terminals. The silhouettes are intentionally irregular, with droplet-like drips hanging from bowls, arms, and baseline edges, creating a melted-ink look. Counters are small and uneven, and the serif treatment reads as rounded slabs that often deform into drips, producing a lively, inconsistent rhythm. Spacing and widths fluctuate noticeably across glyphs, reinforcing the hand-formed, one-off texture in text.
Best used for short, high-impact display text such as Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror-comedy titles, party flyers, posters, packaging callouts, and sticker-style graphics. It can work for headings or logos where a dripping effect is the primary visual cue, but will read noisier in small sizes or long passages.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, leaning into classic horror props—slime, ooze, and dripping paint—while staying more playful than threatening. It feels campy and fun, suited to seasonal or stunt messaging where personality matters more than polish.
The design appears intended to simulate dripping ink or slime while keeping recognizable serif letterforms, delivering an immediate thematic signal. Its irregular edges and exaggerated droplet terminals prioritize character and atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
Uppercase forms tend to feel more monumental and poster-like, while lowercase adds extra wobble and quirk, increasing texture in paragraphs. Numerals match the same goo-drip motif and hold up best at larger sizes where the interior cut-ins and drips remain distinct.
