A display face built from heavy, compact letterforms with irregular, torn-looking contours and frequent downward drips. Stems and bowls are chunky and simplified, with slightly uneven stroke edges that create a cutout silhouette feel rather than smooth curves. Terminals often taper into thin icicle-like points, while counters remain relatively open for a distressed style. Overall spacing and widths vary by glyph, producing a jittery rhythm that feels intentionally rough and handmade.
Best suited for headlines, title cards, and short callouts where the dripping texture can be a primary graphic element—event promos, seasonal packaging, themed signage, and scary-story or game UI titling. Pair with a plain sans or neutral serif for supporting text to keep layouts readable.
The dripping silhouettes and ragged edges project a classic fright-house mood—more theatrical and “Halloween poster” than truly menacing. Its texture reads as goo, slime, or melting ink, giving it an energetic, camp-horror personality that’s attention-seeking and immediate.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable “melting/dripping” effect with bold, compact shapes that reproduce clearly in high-contrast applications. Its irregular outlines and variable glyph widths suggest a deliberate handmade, distressed aesthetic aimed at themed display use rather than long-form reading.
In text, the repeated drip motifs create a strong baseline texture; legibility holds best at larger sizes where the distressed details don’t clump. Numerals and lowercase match the same melt-and-tear vocabulary, keeping the set visually consistent for titles and short bursts of copy.
