A heavy display face built from compact, slightly condensed letterforms with simple, mostly monoline construction. The silhouettes are clean at the top and sides but break into irregular, downward “drip” terminals that create a jagged baseline rhythm across the alphabet. Curves are rounded and slightly blobby (notably in O, Q, and lowercases), while vertical strokes stay firm and straight, giving the set a sturdy backbone. Details like dots and inner counters remain readable at headline sizes, though the dripping extensions add deliberate visual noise and texture.
Best suited to short text in large sizes where the dripping texture can be appreciated—posters, party invites, haunted attraction signage, video thumbnails, and title treatments. It can also work for spooky-themed packaging or game screens when used sparingly and with generous spacing.
The overall tone is horror-leaning and theatrical, evoking slime, blood, or melting paint without becoming overly intricate. It reads as spooky and attention-grabbing, with a touch of kitsch that suits seasonal and genre-forward design.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through a familiar, readable display skeleton paired with dramatic dripping terminals. It prioritizes impact and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming for quick recognition in headlines and themed branding.
The drip treatment varies from glyph to glyph, which adds a handmade, organic feel and keeps repeated letters from looking overly mechanical. Numerals follow the same motif, maintaining consistency for posters and short calls-to-action.
