A tall, narrow text face with mostly monoline strokes and lightly rounded terminals. The standout feature is a consistent “drip” treatment: small irregular blobs and downward streaks hang from bowls, crossbars, and baselines, giving the outlines a wet-ink, melting edge. Curves are smooth and fairly geometric, while the distressing is applied selectively to create texture without fully breaking the letterforms. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing an intentionally uneven, handcrafted rhythm.
Best suited for display settings such as posters, party invitations, seasonal promotions, album/episode titles, or short headlines where the dripping texture can be appreciated. It can work for light subheads or pull quotes at generous sizes, but is less appropriate for long-form reading where the irregular edges may distract.
The dripping details push the tone toward spooky and mischievous, like horror-comedy props or Halloween signage. It reads as playful rather than aggressive, with clean underlying construction softened by gooey, ink-splatter imperfections.
The design appears intended to take a straightforward narrow text skeleton and overlay it with a controlled melting/dripping effect to create a themed, attention-grabbing display voice while keeping basic letter recognition intact.
Uppercase forms stay relatively simple and legible, while many lowercase and figures show more pronounced drips and small interior blobs. At smaller sizes the distressed edges may merge visually, so the style is most effective when given room to show its texture.
