A heavy, rounded display face built from soft, blobby silhouettes and uneven contours. Many letters terminate in elongated drips and teardrop-like spurts, giving the baseline an animated, melting rhythm. Counters are simple and often tightened, with occasional irregular cut-ins and wobble that keep strokes from feeling geometric. Proportions vary by glyph, producing an intentionally inconsistent texture that reads best at larger sizes.
Ideal for Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror-comedy posters, and themed packaging where the dripping motif can carry the concept on its own. It works well for short headlines, title cards, and logos in entertainment contexts, especially when paired with a simpler supporting text face.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, with a tongue-in-cheek, haunted-house energy rather than restrained horror. The dripping terminals suggest slime, ink, or melting wax, creating a sense of motion and suspense. Its friendly rounded massing keeps it approachable while still delivering an unsettling edge.
This design appears intended to deliver an instant “drip” effect—like slime or fresh paint—without additional illustration, turning plain text into a themed graphic element. The exaggerated weight and irregular contouring prioritize atmosphere and impact over continuous-reading comfort.
The font’s visual identity relies on terminal behavior: short and long drips alternate across characters, so text forms a lively, jagged baseline. Uppercase and lowercase share the same gooey logic, while numerals echo the same melted styling for cohesive titling. Because of the irregular edges and tight apertures in places, spacing and legibility can feel busy in dense settings.
