A heavy, rounded sans with simplified, cartoon-like construction and soft corners, punctuated by irregular drip terminals that hang from bowls, crossbars, and baseline touches. Strokes are generally uniform with modest modulation, but edges are intentionally uneven, producing a slightly melted/ink-bleed silhouette rather than crisp geometry. Spacing reads open and legible at display sizes, while the variable drip lengths create an animated baseline and subtle texture across lines of text.
Best suited for short, high-impact settings such as headlines, titles, posters, and seasonal promotions where the dripping texture can read clearly. It also works well for themed packaging, signage, and social graphics that benefit from an instantly recognizable spooky aesthetic; for long passages, the irregular terminals may add visual noise at smaller sizes.
The letterforms communicate a classic horror-prop feel—more playful and theatrical than truly menacing—like dripping paint or slime on a poster. The jittery, melting details add unease and movement, giving the font an energetic, spooky mood suited to seasonal or genre-driven messaging.
The design intent appears to be a legible display face that overlays a consistent “dripping” effect onto a friendly, rounded skeleton, balancing readability with atmospheric texture. It aims to deliver an immediate genre cue (spooky/slimy) without sacrificing clear character recognition.
The drip motif appears consistently across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with occasional asymmetry that keeps repeated characters from feeling too uniform. Numerals and round letters retain clear counters, helping the face stay readable despite the decorative terminals.
