A heavy display face built from compact, rounded forms with irregular, dripping terminals. Strokes are broadly consistent in weight, with softened corners and occasional notches that create a hand-cut, gooey silhouette. The outlines feel intentionally uneven and organic, with drips hanging from bowls and cross-strokes, producing a rhythmic “melting” edge along the baseline and cap line. Counters are relatively tight and often partially occluded by the drip shapes, giving the letters a dense, inked-in presence.
Best suited to large sizes where the dripping detail can be clearly seen—posters, party invites, seasonal promotions, haunted attractions, and title treatments. It can also work for short bursts of UI text in themed games or streaming graphics, but it’s most effective as a display font rather than for extended reading.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, evoking slime, ooze, and classic haunted-house signage. Its exaggerated drips read as fun rather than graphic, landing in a camp-horror zone that feels suited to seasonal or novelty messaging. The bold, dark texture creates an immediate sense of menace while staying approachable and cartoon-like.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror-themed flavor through a consistent set of melting, dripping terminals paired with compact, high-impact letterforms. It prioritizes atmosphere and recognizability over neutrality, offering a unified “ooze” texture that reads quickly in bold headings.
The alphabet shows consistent drip motifs across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, which helps maintain cohesion in longer lines of text. Spacing appears designed for headline use, where the irregular edges can remain legible without collapsing into noise. Numerals follow the same blobby, dripping construction, matching the letters well in mixed content.
