A heavy, compact display face built from rounded, swollen strokes with softened corners and minimal contrast. Many terminals taper into irregular drips and teardrop-like descenders, creating a wet, melting silhouette. Counters are small and simplified, and the overall rhythm is lumpy and organic rather than geometric, with slight per-glyph irregularities that enhance the hand-formed feel. Numerals and capitals follow the same bold, blotted construction, staying legible through simple, open shapes and clear primary strokes.
Best suited to short, high-impact copy such as Halloween promotions, haunted attraction branding, poster headlines, and playful horror-themed packaging. It works well where a sticky, dripping texture can carry the mood on its own, especially in large sizes with ample surrounding space.
The dripping forms read as intentionally spooky and theatrical, evoking slime, ink, or melting wax. Despite the macabre cues, the generous curves and cartoon proportions keep the tone light and approachable—more haunted-house signage than gritty horror. The texture suggests motion and messiness, giving words an animated, attention-grabbing presence.
The letterforms appear designed to deliver an immediate dripping-scare cue while maintaining readability through simplified, rounded construction. The consistent gooey terminals and blobby massing suggest a purpose-built display font for themed titles and signage rather than continuous text.
The design relies on silhouette recognition more than internal detail, so tight spacing and small sizes can cause counters and drips to merge visually. The uneven drip lengths add character but can create a lively baseline in longer lines, which is most effective when treated as a feature in display settings.
