A display face with heavy, rounded strokes and an intentionally uneven, hand-drawn silhouette. Many terminals taper into elongated drips and ragged points, creating a wet-ink or melting effect across both uppercase and lowercase. Counters are generally open but lumpy, bowls skew slightly, and spacing feels organic rather than mechanically consistent, giving lines of text a jittery rhythm. The overall construction mixes simplified, cartoonish geometry with sporadic narrow joins and stretched descenders that emphasize the dripping motif.
Best suited for headlines, title treatments, posters, and short phrases where the dripping silhouette can be read clearly. It works well for Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, playful horror graphics, kids’ spooky materials, and any design needing a gooey, cartoon-fright tone. Use sparingly for longer text to avoid texture fatigue and legibility loss.
The font reads as spooky-fun rather than serious horror, combining a gooey, dripping texture with a quirky, off-kilter friendliness. It evokes Halloween signage, monster-movie title cards, and comic fright aesthetics, where the mood is mischievous and theatrical. The irregularity adds a handmade, slightly chaotic energy that feels deliberately wacky.
The design appears aimed at creating an immediately recognizable dripping-ink effect while keeping letterforms familiar enough for quick reading in display settings. Its irregular outlines and varied terminals suggest a deliberate, hand-rendered personality intended to feel quirky, graphic, and attention-grabbing.
The dripping details become a strong texture at larger sizes and can visually clump at smaller sizes, especially in dense lines. Numerals and punctuation (as seen in the sample) carry the same wet, droplet-like terminals, helping maintain a consistent decorative voice across mixed content.
