A heavy, inked display face with irregular, hand-drawn construction and pronounced drip terminals that hang from bowls, joins, and stroke ends. Forms are mostly upright with compact proportions, rounded corners, and uneven stroke edges that feel like wet paint or marker bleeding. Counters are small to medium and often asymmetrical, while joins and terminals vary from glyph to glyph, creating a deliberately unstable rhythm. The numerals follow the same blobby silhouette and drip treatment, keeping the set visually consistent in texture and weight.
This font is best suited to short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, horror or thriller titling, haunted attraction signage, and dramatic poster headlines. It can also work for game title screens, streaming thumbnails, stickers, and social graphics where a dripping, inky texture is the primary visual cue. For longer text, it’s most effective in brief phrases or callouts paired with a simpler companion face.
The overall tone is horror-leaning and theatrical, channeling the look of fresh black goo, slime, or dripping paint. It reads as playful-spooky rather than refined, with a chaotic energy that suggests haunted-house signage, pulp monster titles, and Halloween ephemera. The drips add tension and motion, giving text an uneasy, creeping presence.
The design intent appears to be an immediately recognizable “dripping ink” headline style that communicates horror and messiness at a glance. Its uneven outlines and varied terminals prioritize atmosphere and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for strong thematic signaling in display contexts.
Spacing and sidebearings appear somewhat irregular by design, and the drip descenders create a jagged baseline that becomes a key part of the texture in lines of text. Best results will come from allowing extra vertical breathing room so the drips don’t visually collide between lines, and from using it at sizes where the irregular edges and counters remain clear.
