A heavy, rounded display face built from soft, swollen shapes with irregular, dripping terminals. Strokes are largely monoline in feel, but edges wobble subtly and counters pinch unevenly, creating a handmade, liquid silhouette. Many letters end in long teardrop drips and tapered trails, producing a jagged baseline rhythm and a slightly unstable texture across words. Uppercase forms are bulky and simplified; lowercase is similarly chunky with tall ascenders and simplified bowls, keeping the overall color dense and dark.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as posters, title cards, packaging callouts, social graphics, and in-game UI headers where a spooky theme is desired. It performs particularly well at medium-to-large sizes with generous line spacing to accommodate the drips and uneven baseline.
The dripping contours and goo-like massing evoke classic horror tropes—blood, slime, and melting paint—while the rounded construction keeps it more playful than brutal. The texture reads immediately as spooky and theatrical, suited to camp-horror and Halloween-style imagery where impact matters more than refinement.
The design appears intended to deliver an instant “melting/dripping” horror signal through exaggerated weight, rounded forms, and gravity-driven terminals, prioritizing atmosphere and recognizability over extended reading comfort.
Spacing appears intentionally tight and the irregular descenders/drips create strong vertical movement, which can reduce clarity at small sizes. Numerals and punctuation follow the same melting motif, helping headlines and short phrases feel cohesive.
