A heavy display face with chunky silhouettes and irregular, droplet-like terminals that appear to sag and tear along the baseline and inner counters. Strokes are generally compact and upright, with abrupt edges and uneven contours that create a distressed, hand-cut feel. Counters tend to be tight and sometimes partially occluded by the drips, while spacing is relatively tight, producing a dense, poster-ready texture in words and lines.
Best suited to short, impactful settings where texture is a feature: headlines, titles, logos, and seasonal or horror-themed promotions. It works well on high-contrast backgrounds for posters, flyers, game and film titling, and packaging where an ooze/drip motif supports the concept; it’s less appropriate for long-form reading due to the distressed contours and tight counters.
The overall tone reads macabre and theatrical, evoking classic horror title cards, haunted-house signage, and B-movie creature features. The dripping details add a sense of ooze or decay, giving the text an intentionally unsettling, playful menace rather than a refined darkness.
Designed to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated weight and dripping, eroded terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and visual punch over typographic neutrality. The consistent gooey distressing suggests an intention for themed display use where the letterforms double as illustration.
The font’s strongest identifying feature is the consistent “melting” effect across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with varied drip lengths that keep repeated letters from feeling too uniform. At smaller sizes the distressed edges can merge into solid shapes, while larger settings emphasize the gnarly texture and irregular rhythm.
