A heavy, condensed display face with rounded, blobby contours and deliberately rough edges. Many strokes end in tapered drips and icicle-like terminals, creating a wet-ink silhouette with irregular lower edges and occasional spur-like protrusions. Counters are generally open and simple, while widths vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, adding a hand-made, uneven rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same gooey, distressed construction, maintaining consistent weight while letting the drip lengths and terminal shapes vary for texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as Halloween headlines, horror and thriller posters, haunted attraction signage, and game or stream title cards. It can also work for themed packaging, sticker designs, and social graphics where the dripping texture reads clearly at larger sizes.
The dripping terminals and smeared silhouettes evoke horror props—ooze, slime, and blackened ink—delivering an ominous, haunted tone. At the same time, the rounded forms keep it more campy than brutal, reading like classic monster-movie or haunted-house lettering with a playful sting.
Likely designed to provide an instantly recognizable “drip” texture for spooky, themed display typography while staying legible through simple, rounded letterforms. The controlled irregularities appear intentional, aiming for a handcrafted, ink-smeared look that adds atmosphere without complex detailing.
The most distinctive feature is the consistent downward drip motif, which creates strong texture in lines of text and increases visual noise at smaller sizes. Spacing feels intentionally uneven to support the hand-rendered effect, so it works best where the rough rhythm is a feature rather than a flaw.
