A rounded, monoline display face with soft, bulbous construction and intentionally uneven contours. Many terminals and joins break into small drips and ragged bites, giving the outlines a wet-ink or melting look while keeping overall letterforms clear. Counters are generally open and circular, with simplified geometry and occasional asymmetry that creates a lively rhythm. Spacing and widths vary from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a hand-drawn, irregular texture across words and lines.
Best used for display settings where texture and character are desirable: Halloween promotions, party flyers, playful horror branding, themed packaging, and attention-grabbing headlines. It can also work for short bursts of text in social graphics or labels, but the distressed details are most effective when given ample size and contrast.
The font reads as mischievous and slightly eerie, balancing horror-movie drips with a friendly, cartoon sensibility. Its imperfect edges and bubbly shapes make it feel informal and playful rather than harsh, with a theatrical “creepy-fun” tone suited to seasonal or novelty messaging.
The design appears intended to simulate a drippy, hand-inked marker look while preserving legibility through simple, rounded letter skeletons. Its irregular edges and varied widths prioritize personality and atmosphere over typographic neutrality.
At larger sizes the drip details become a defining feature, while at smaller sizes they can merge into the silhouette and add visual noise. Numerals follow the same rounded, blotted style, and the overall set maintains a consistent inky texture across caps and lowercase.
