A heavy, compact display face built from rounded, blobby forms with a consistent “drip” treatment applied to stems and terminals. Letters have mostly monoline-looking masses but with irregular contour wobble and uneven cut-ins that create a hand-drawn, inky silhouette. Counters are small and soft-edged, and many glyphs feature downward drips of varying lengths, producing a lively baseline and a slightly messy texture. Overall spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, emphasizing an intentionally irregular rhythm over strict typographic precision.
Best suited to short, punchy display settings where the dripping silhouette can be read instantly—Halloween promotions, horror-comedy posters, party invites, social graphics, and playful packaging. It can also work for logotypes or badges when the gooey theme is a key part of the brand voice, but it’s less appropriate for extended text or small UI sizes.
The font reads as gooey and theatrical—equal parts haunted-house signage and cartoon gross-out humor. Its dripping shapes suggest slime, paint, or melting wax, giving it a spooky-but-fun tone rather than a truly sinister one. The overall effect is loud, attention-seeking, and tongue-in-cheek.
Designed to deliver an immediate dripping/slime visual theme while keeping letterforms recognizable and bold. The irregular outlines and varied drip lengths appear intentional, aiming for a handmade, graphic look that feels animated and expressive.
The drip motif is present across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating strong stylistic cohesion. Because the counters and interior details can fill in quickly, the face works best when allowed generous size and contrast against the background.
