A compact display face with heavy, inky strokes and irregular outlines that feel hand-formed rather than mechanically drawn. Many terminals taper into long, uneven drips, creating a vertical, gravity-pulled texture along baselines and descenders. Counters are generally tight and rounded, while edges show soft bulges and occasional nicks that keep the silhouette lively. Spacing is fairly tight and the overall rhythm is jittery, with small width differences and inconsistent terminal lengths adding to the distressed, liquid look.
Works well for headlines, posters, party invitations, and packaging where an instantly creepy, dripping impression is desired. It’s particularly effective for seasonal Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror-themed streaming art, and game or comic branding that benefits from a stylized scare. Use sparingly for body text, or increase size/leading to keep the drips from visually crowding lines.
The dripping terminals and blotted silhouettes evoke classic horror signage and monster-movie title cards, leaning into an intentionally theatrical spookiness rather than realism. The tone reads ominous but also a bit tongue-in-cheek, making it suitable for Halloween-style fun as much as for darker atmospheres.
This design appears intended to mimic wet ink or slime hanging from letterforms, prioritizing silhouette and mood over strict typographic regularity. The consistent drip vocabulary across caps, lowercase, and figures suggests it was built to deliver quick, recognizable horror flavor in display settings.
Legibility holds best at larger sizes where the drips and ragged edges can be appreciated without filling in counters. The numerals and capitals maintain the same ooze motif, giving headlines and short bursts of text a consistent, poster-like impact.
