A casual display face with thick, rounded strokes and intentionally uneven contours. Terminals frequently end in soft drips and small nicks, creating a blotty, ink-wet silhouette rather than crisp edges. Counters are generally open and simple, while stroke joins wobble slightly, producing a handmade rhythm and mild per-glyph variation in width and texture. Capitals are compact and sturdy; lowercase remains legible but retains the same smeared, organic edge behavior, and numerals follow suit with chunky forms and occasional droplet-like protrusions.
Best suited to short display settings such as Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, horror or thriller titling, and entertainment graphics where atmosphere matters more than typographic neutrality. It can also work for game UI labels or packaging accents when used sparingly and with comfortable spacing.
The overall tone is spooky in a tongue-in-cheek way—more haunted-house poster than grim realism. The drips and rough edges suggest ooze, slime, or fresh paint, giving text a theatrical, Halloween-ready mood that reads as mischievous and unsettling without becoming hard to parse.
Designed to evoke dripping ink or slime while staying readable, pairing simple letter structures with distressed, organic edges. The intention appears to be a versatile spooky display style that can carry headlines and punchy phrases with immediate thematic impact.
In running text, the irregular perimeter adds visual noise, so the font benefits from generous tracking and moderate sizes where the drips don’t merge. The texture is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping mixed-case headlines feel unified.
