A very heavy, ink-blob display face with rounded, bulbous forms and an intentionally irregular silhouette. Many glyphs end in elongated drip terminals that vary in length and thickness, creating a melting/oozing effect. Counters are simplified and sometimes asymmetric, and stroke endings feel soft and organic rather than crisp. Spacing and letterfit read as lively and uneven, with a hand-cut, splattered rhythm that prioritizes texture over precision.
Best suited to short, high-impact settings such as Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, horror-comedy posters, party flyers, streaming thumbnails, and game titles or UI accents where mood and texture matter more than long-form readability.
The dripping terminals and blobby massing evoke slime, blood, and classic horror poster lettering, while the rounded shapes keep it more fun than frightening. The overall tone is campy and theatrical—perfect for jump-scare energy, spooky humor, and playful macabre styling.
The design appears intended to simulate thick liquid lettering—like paint, slime, or melting wax—translating a classic “drip” effect into a cohesive alphabet for attention-grabbing display typography.
Legibility is strongest at larger sizes where the drip details can be appreciated; at smaller sizes the irregular edges and dense shapes may reduce clarity. Numerals and capitals carry the same dripping motif, giving headlines and short bursts of text a consistent, themed texture.
