A heavy, condensed display face built from simple, blocky sans forms with rounded corners and minimal stroke modulation. The defining feature is a consistent “drip” treatment along the bottom of most glyphs—irregular tapering stalactite-like extensions that vary in length and create a ragged baseline. Counters are compact and sturdy, terminals are generally blunt, and the overall silhouette stays geometric while the lower edges introduce deliberate messiness. Spacing reads tight and compact, supporting dense, high-impact word shapes.
Best suited to short display settings where the dripping baseline can read clearly: Halloween promotions, horror-comedy titles, themed event posters, game UI headers, stickers, and merch. It can also work for attention-grabbing signage or social graphics when used at larger sizes with generous leading.
The dripping contours push the tone toward horror and Halloween tropes, but the chunky construction keeps it playful rather than truly menacing. It suggests slime, ink, or melting paint—more B-movie and comic-book than gothic. The result feels energetic, slightly chaotic, and intentionally “gross-out” in a fun, theatrical way.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable “melting/dripping” motif while preserving strong legibility through a compact, monoline, block-sans skeleton. It prioritizes silhouette impact and texture over neutrality, aiming for quick thematic signaling in headlines and branding moments.
The drip effect is most pronounced on rounded and open-bottom letters and numerals, creating strong texture in lines of text and a lively, uneven rhythm. Because the visual interest concentrates at the baseline, the face tends to look best when given enough line spacing so descenders and drips don’t visually crowd adjacent lines.
