A heavy, display-focused alphabet with irregular, hand-cut silhouettes and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are chunky and largely monoline in impression, with occasional pinched joins and softened corners that create a blobby, organic contour. The edges are intentionally ragged with small nicks and hanging droplets, producing a distressed rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase. Counters stay relatively open for a drippy style, and the figures match the same uneven baseline and sagging, ink-run texture.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as headlines, posters, and title treatments where the drips and rough edges can read clearly. It works well for Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, horror or thriller graphics, and punchy packaging or social assets that benefit from a gooey, distressed voice.
The overall tone reads as eerie and macabre, with a gooey, stained look that evokes slime, ink drips, or horror-movie title cards. Despite the menace, the rounded forms and exaggerated drips give it a slightly camp, playful energy suited to seasonal or tongue-in-cheek fright themes.
The design appears intended to mimic wet ink or oozing paint, combining thick silhouettes with drip artifacts to instantly signal a spooky, grimy atmosphere. It prioritizes character and texture over neutrality, aiming for immediate thematic recognition in display typography.
Texture is built into the letterforms rather than applied as a separate effect, so the distressed character remains consistent at the glyph level. Spacing and silhouette variation are part of the look, creating a jittery, handmade feel that becomes more pronounced as sizes get smaller.
