A very heavy, rounded sans with simplified, blocky construction and mostly uniform stroke thickness. The defining feature is an irregular “drip” treatment along lower edges: terminals extend into tapered, paint-like hangs that vary in length from glyph to glyph. Curves are broad and smooth while corners are generally softened, creating a chunky silhouette; the drip details add jagged texture and uneven baselines without changing the overall sturdy proportions. Spacing and counters remain fairly open for a display face, keeping the letterforms readable even with the distressed additions.
Best suited for short display settings where the dripping motif can read clearly: Halloween promotions, spooky party flyers, horror or thriller poster titles, game or streaming thumbnails, and novelty packaging. It can also work for bold logotypes or merch graphics where a playful-gross texture is desired, especially at larger sizes with generous line spacing.
The dripping texture evokes ooze, slime, or wet ink, giving the face a horror-adjacent, Halloween-ready mood while still feeling cartoonish and approachable. It reads like a bold headline font that leans into mischief and shock-value rather than seriousness, with a handmade, splattered energy.
This design appears intended to take a straightforward, heavy sans foundation and transform it into a thematic display face through a consistent dripping overlay. The goal is instant atmosphere—suggesting slime, blood, or wet paint—while preserving enough underlying clarity for punchy headlines.
Drips appear most prominent on bottoms and some vertical strokes, producing a “melting” effect that is visually consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals. The distortion is decorative rather than structural: core shapes stay stable, but the irregular fringe creates lively rhythm in text blocks and increases visual noise at small sizes.
