A heavy, rounded display face with softened corners and a hand-cut silhouette. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline, with teardrop-like drips and small hanging terminals that give many letters a melting, ink-run finish. Counters are generous and shapes stay fairly compact, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph for an organic, uneven rhythm. The overall construction remains upright and readable, but edges are intentionally irregular to preserve a distressed, liquid look.
Best suited to headlines and short phrases where the dripping silhouette can read clearly—seasonal Halloween graphics, haunted house promos, horror-comedy posters, and themed social posts. It can also work for game titles or UI labels in spooky settings, especially at larger sizes where the drips and irregular edges remain distinct.
The dripping terminals and inky blobs push the tone toward classic horror signage, evoking slime, goo, or wet paint. Despite the sinister cues, the rounded forms keep it approachable and slightly tongue-in-cheek, making it feel more “fun fright” than realistic menace.
Designed to deliver an instantly recognizable “melting/dripping” horror effect while retaining friendly, rounded letter shapes for legibility. The goal appears to be a bold, high-impact display style that communicates atmosphere through silhouette and terminal treatment rather than intricate detailing.
The texture is integrated into the letterforms rather than applied as a separate overlay, so the drips are consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Numerals and punctuation (as shown) match the same melting language, helping headings and short bursts of text maintain a cohesive themed voice.
