A heavy, display serif with rounded, bulbous stems and pronounced teardrop-like drips that hang from terminals, bowls, and cross-strokes. Letterforms keep a mostly upright stance and readable silhouettes, while edges are intentionally irregular, with soft spikes and uneven ink-like contours. The uppercase is compact and weighty, and the lowercase carries the same chunky structure with frequent descending droplets, creating an animated baseline and a lively, slightly chaotic rhythm. Counters tend to be small and sometimes asymmetrical, and numerals follow the same thick, melted treatment for a consistent texture.
Best used for short, high-impact settings such as titles, logos, posters, packaging callouts, and seasonal campaign graphics. It works especially well on dark or high-contrast layouts where the drip shapes can read as intentional ornament, and in playful horror contexts like haunted attractions, screenings, and themed events.
The font projects a classic horror-poster mood with a slime-and-ink aesthetic that feels theatrical rather than realistic. Its drips and wobble add tension and mischief, landing between creepy and cartoonish, ideal for conveying suspense, Halloween fun, or pulpy B-movie energy.
The design appears intended to deliver instant genre signaling through exaggerated weight and dripping terminals, combining sturdy, readable forms with deliberately messy, melting details. It prioritizes character and atmosphere over neutrality, aiming to create a bold, textured headline voice.
Because many strokes terminate in hanging drops and irregular blobs, the texture becomes dense quickly in continuous text; the sample shows strongest clarity when given generous size and spacing. The dripping details create distinctive word shapes, but they also introduce visual noise at smaller settings and in tight tracking.
