A heavy, condensed display face with rounded, swollen letterforms that taper into irregular drip-like terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but edges wobble and bulge subtly, creating an organic, hand-cut silhouette rather than clean geometry. Counters are small and uneven, and many characters show downward “melts” that vary in length, giving the line a jagged baseline rhythm. The overall texture is dense and inky, with consistent drips used as a repeating motif across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where the dripping texture can be appreciated—posters, event flyers, title cards, game and film branding, and seasonal Halloween graphics. It can also work for packaging or labels aiming for a spooky novelty vibe, especially when set with generous tracking and ample line spacing.
The dripping terminals and blobby contours evoke slime, blood, or melting wax—an immediately macabre tone with a slightly tongue-in-cheek, poster-style theatricality. It reads as haunted-house and creature-feature rather than refined gothic, leaning into shock-value and fun fear.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror theming through a consistent “melting/dripping” terminal system while keeping letter structures familiar enough for quick recognition. Its condensed proportions and bold silhouette prioritize impact and atmosphere over quiet readability in long passages.
Spacing and widths feel intentionally inconsistent to enhance the organic, distressed effect, with some glyphs appearing more compact while others sprout longer descenders. The sample text shows strong word-shape presence, but the drip details can visually merge at smaller sizes or in dense settings.
