A heavy, rounded display face with a soft-edged silhouette and frequent drip terminals that hang from bowls, arms, and feet. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel with moderate contrast created by swelling curves and tapered ends, and the outlines maintain a deliberately uneven, liquid-cut contour. Counters are often partially “gnawed” or notched, and interior shapes show small bite-like cutouts that add texture without breaking legibility. Widths vary noticeably across letters, giving the line a lively, handmade rhythm.
Best suited to short headlines and branding moments where texture is the point—posters, titles, packaging accents, and seasonal promotions. It works especially well on high-contrast backgrounds and at larger sizes where the drip details and notches can read cleanly.
The overall tone reads like wet ink, slime, or melting paint—more theatrical than gruesome. It evokes classic horror poster lettering and Halloween props, with an intentionally messy, organic energy that feels animated and mischievous.
The design appears intended to deliver instant “melting/dripping” atmosphere while keeping forms recognizable and friendly enough for decorative display typography. Its irregular edges and hanging terminals prioritize mood and silhouette over strict typographic uniformity.
Uppercase forms stay relatively blocky and stable while lowercase adds more wobble and irregular terminals, increasing the handcrafted feel. Numerals follow the same drip motif and remain clear at display sizes, with distinctive silhouette cues rather than strict geometric consistency.
