A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and simplified construction, overlaid with irregular drip terminals that hang from counters, joins, and baseline edges. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with compact apertures and sturdy verticals that keep the silhouettes legible despite the distressed detailing. The drip shapes vary in length and placement from glyph to glyph, creating a lively, uneven texture; diagonals (V/W/X/Y) stay sharp while curved letters (O/C/S) carry the most pronounced “ooze” along their lower edges.
Best suited to short, high-impact display copy such as Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror-comedy titles, party flyers, and packaging that wants a slimy or dripping effect. It also works well for logos or headers in games and entertainment branding where the decorative fringe can be given enough size and spacing to read cleanly.
The overall tone is horror-leaning but intentionally tongue-in-cheek, evoking slime, ink, or blood in a cartoonish, poster-friendly way. It reads as mischievous and theatrical rather than grim, with an energetic, attention-grabbing rhythm driven by the dangling irregularities.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, instantly recognizable “dripping” theme while preserving the underlying structure of a clean, rounded sans for readability. The controlled base shapes provide stability, while the irregular drips add character and narrative texture.
At larger sizes the drip details become a key graphic feature, while at smaller sizes they begin to merge into a dark fringe that can reduce clarity in dense text. Numerals and punctuation inherit the same drippy motif, helping the style feel consistent across display settings.
