A hand-drawn, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with thick, ink-like strokes and intentionally uneven edges. Forms are built from rounded, slightly swollen stems and counters, with frequent droplet-like terminals and small notches that make the outlines feel wet or eroded. Curves are lumpy rather than geometric, and joins often look brushed or dabbed, creating irregular stroke boundaries while maintaining a steady overall darkness. Spacing and character widths vary noticeably, with simplified, open apertures in many lowercase letters and compact bowls in characters like a, e, and o.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as horror or Halloween titles, event posters, haunted-house branding, game title screens, and album/merch graphics. It can also serve as a thematic accent in packaging or social content where a dripping, handmade texture is desired.
The font projects a horror-leaning, gooey atmosphere—like lettering painted with thick ink that has started to run. Its irregular rhythm reads as unsettling and handmade, balancing creepiness with a playful, B-movie poster energy rather than a polished cinematic tone.
The design appears intended to mimic thick brush or marker lettering that has bled and dripped, producing an ominous, messy texture while keeping letterforms straightforward enough to recognize quickly. The consistent darkness and rounded construction suggest it was drawn for display use where mood and silhouette take priority over refinement.
In longer text the heavy silhouettes stay prominent, but the rough contouring and width variation become the main texture, so the face works best when the letterforms are allowed to read as shapes. Numerals match the same blobby, dripped construction, and punctuation is similarly irregular, reinforcing the distressed, liquid theme.
