A heavy, rounded sans with chunky stems and soft, circular bowls. The uppercase set is stylized with irregular cut-ins and droplet-like terminals that create a melting or oozing silhouette, while counters are often partially filled or carved into organic shapes. Lowercase and numerals are comparatively cleaner and more conventional, maintaining the same bold, solid color and simple geometry with only light irregularity in places. Overall rhythm is compact and sturdy, with simplified joins and broad curves that favor impact over fine detail.
Best suited to display work such as posters, event titles, seasonal promotions, game or horror-comedy graphics, and punchy packaging or labels. It performs well in short bursts—single words, banners, and attention-grabbing headings—where the drippy detailing can act as a graphic element.
The letterforms evoke a gooey, creature-feature mood—part horror parody, part comic-book fun. The drips and internal voids read as slime, ink bleed, or melting wax, giving the face a mischievous, haunted energy rather than a serious tone.
The design appears intended to deliver a bold, immediately recognizable display voice by combining a simple rounded sans foundation with slime-like distortions and cutout counters. The goal is high impact and character—suggesting ooze, melting, or inky erosion—without relying on intricate linework.
The decorative effects concentrate most strongly in the capitals and a few standout glyphs, so mixed-case setting can produce a deliberate contrast between expressive headers and more straightforward text shapes. The dense black mass and partially obstructed counters make it most effective at larger sizes where the carved details and drips can be read clearly.
