A chunky, hand-drawn display face with rounded bowls and irregular stroke endings that taper into pointed drips. Letterforms are generally simple and open, but edges are intentionally uneven, giving a wet-ink or paint-bleed feel. Terminals frequently extend downward in short spikes, and curves show subtle wobble that reinforces the handmade rhythm. The set keeps consistent thickness overall while allowing noticeable per-glyph width variation, especially in wide capitals like W and rounded forms like O and Q.
Best suited for short-to-medium display settings where texture and mood are the priority—movie/game titles, Halloween promotions, haunted house branding, party invitations, and poster headlines. It can also work for punchy UI labels or merch graphics when you want an eerie, drippy presence without sacrificing basic legibility.
The font mixes horror cues with a cartoonish energy: it feels gooey and unsettling, yet approachable rather than brutal. The drip-like terminals read as spooky signage or creature-feature titling, with a mischievous tone suitable for themed, seasonal design.
The design appears intended to evoke dripping ink or slime through rounded, friendly skeletons punctuated by sharp, downward runs. Its consistent weight and simple structures aim for readable display typography while the ragged terminals deliver the thematic character.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same droplet/ink-run motif, helping maintain a cohesive texture in mixed-case text. Numerals follow the same blobby construction with occasional tapered ends, keeping the atmosphere consistent across alphanumerics.
