A heavy display face with chunky, rounded forms and aggressively irregular edges. Strokes are uneven and appear to melt downward into tapered drips, creating a serrated baseline and a ragged silhouette across each glyph. Counters are small and soft-edged, and the overall construction favors simplified, compact shapes over strict geometric consistency. Spacing reads relatively tight in text, while the letterforms themselves vary noticeably in internal texture and drip length for a deliberately distressed rhythm.
Use it for short, high-impact headlines such as Halloween promotions, haunted house flyers, horror film or podcast titles, and game UI title screens. It also suits stickers, thumbnails, and merchandise where the dripping silhouette can read clearly at larger sizes. For longer copy, it benefits from generous leading and careful tracking to avoid the drips visually clumping between lines.
The dripping terminals and torn contours evoke classic horror poster lettering—more playful-monster than minimalist dread. The texture suggests wet ink, ooze, or decay, giving words an unstable, unsettling presence. It communicates immediate genre cues and works best when the roughness is allowed to be the main visual voice.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror theming through a bold, high-ink presence and a signature melting/dripping motif. Its simplified structure prioritizes recognizability and impact over refinement, aiming for strong genre signaling in display contexts.
The drips tend to concentrate on lower edges, which makes line spacing an important consideration in multi-line settings. Numerals and both cases follow the same melting treatment, keeping the texture consistent across headings and short callouts.
