A heavy, condensed display face with irregular, liquid-like terminals that sag into drips and splatters. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but the edges are intentionally rough and eroded, creating a torn silhouette and uneven counters. The vertical rhythm is strong, with many letters built from narrow upright stems, while widths vary noticeably across the set. Descenders and lower edges frequently extend into tapered droplets, giving the baseline a choppy, animated texture when set in text.
Best suited to large-size display settings where the dripping silhouette can be appreciated—film titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house or escape-room posters, and horror game or streaming graphics. It also works well for short callouts on flyers and social posts, especially on high-contrast backgrounds where the irregular edges stay legible.
The overall tone is classic horror: dark, gooey, and theatrical, like ink, slime, or blood slowly running. Its exaggerated drips and distressed contours add a playful B-movie menace that reads as spooky rather than refined, amplifying tension and suspense in short headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediate “dripping” horror effect with bold impact and a deliberately distressed outline. By combining condensed proportions with uneven, melting terminals, it prioritizes mood and texture over neutral readability for attention-grabbing themed typography.
In sample text, the dripping forms create strong texture and a noisy word shape, which increases atmosphere but can reduce clarity at small sizes. Rounded letters like O/Q read as thick, blobby forms with softened interior space, while punctuation and numerals echo the same sagging, melt-like motif for consistent theming.
