A heavy, rounded display face built from simple, geometric letterforms that are intentionally disrupted by irregular drips and torn-looking terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, with abrupt cut-ins and occasional wedge-like notches that add a slightly stenciled, hacked-away texture. The contours stay broadly circular and friendly in the bowls and counters, while the bottom edges frequently sag into uneven droplet shapes, creating a strong vertical “melt” rhythm across words. Spacing and proportions read as consistent at headline sizes, but the drip detailing introduces purposeful irregularity from glyph to glyph.
Best suited to large-scale display use where the drips can read clearly—posters, headers, packaging callouts, and themed event materials. It’s particularly effective for seasonal or genre-specific work (haunted attractions, monster movies, spooky parties) and for playful game or streaming graphics that want a “slime/melt” motif.
The dripping silhouettes immediately evoke slime, ink, or melting paint, giving the font a spooky, horror-adjacent tone with a mischievous, cartoon energy. It feels more playful than threatening, like a creature-feature poster or a haunted-house sign rendered in thick, gummy letters.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward, rounded display skeleton and inject character through a consistent dripping treatment, producing an immediately recognizable silhouette for attention-grabbing headlines. The goal seems to be high impact and thematic flavor rather than neutral readability in long text.
The drip features are concentrated along baselines and lower curves, so longer lines develop a pronounced ragged edge that becomes a key part of the texture. Numerals and uppercase maintain the same chunky structure as the lowercase, helping titles and short phrases look cohesive.
