A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face with irregular, ink-blot silhouettes and pronounced drip terminals. Strokes are chunky and rounded overall, with edges that break into ragged notches and dangling droplets, giving each glyph a wet, melting contour. Counters are uneven and sometimes pinched, and the baseline presence is intentionally unstable due to descending drips and varying foot shapes. Despite the distressed surface, core letterforms remain straightforward and readable, with consistent mass and a cohesive, cut-from-ink texture across letters and numerals.
Best suited to short display settings where texture is a feature: Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror or thriller title cards, streaming thumbnails, party flyers, and themed packaging. It also works well for logos or wordmarks that want an immediate “oozing” motif, especially at medium-to-large sizes where the drips and ragged contours remain clear.
The dripping forms and rough, smeared edges project a pulpy, spooky atmosphere—more haunted-house and creature-feature than refined gothic. It reads as playful menace: bold, attention-grabbing, and deliberately messy in a way that signals slime, blood, or oozing paint.
The design intention appears to be an instantly recognizable dripping-ink effect layered onto simple, bold skeletons to maintain legibility while delivering strong thematic impact. It prioritizes silhouette drama and texture over typographic neutrality, aiming for quick, cinematic mood-setting in headlines and graphic applications.
Uppercase letters tend to feel blockier and more poster-like, while lowercase introduces more lively silhouettes and occasional deeper drips. Numerals follow the same liquid treatment, keeping the set visually unified for themed headlines and short bursts of copy.
