A rounded, monoline display face with soft terminals and an irregular “drip” treatment that hangs from bowls, crossbars, and baseline joins. Strokes maintain a fairly even weight while the outlines stay slightly wobbly and organic, creating a casual hand-made rhythm. Counters are open and simple, curves dominate the construction, and spacing feels roomy enough for the drips to read as part of the silhouette. The numerals follow the same softened geometry, with occasional dangling drops that add texture without heavily distorting the basic forms.
Best suited to short display settings where the drip detailing can be appreciated: Halloween and event posters, playful horror or slime-themed branding, packaging callouts, stickers, thumbnails, and title cards. It will read most clearly at larger sizes or with generous tracking, especially on high-contrast backgrounds.
The dripping accents push the tone toward spooky-cute and campy, suggesting slime, ink, or melting paint rather than harsh horror. Overall it feels lighthearted and oddball, balancing readable letterforms with a deliberately messy finish.
The design appears intended to turn a friendly rounded sans into a characterful novelty by adding melting/dripping details, aiming for instant thematic signaling while keeping the base letterforms recognizable.
The drip motifs are distributed inconsistently across glyphs (some letters are clean while others have multiple drops), which adds a handmade, unpredictable feel. Uppercase and lowercase share the same rounded construction, making the font read as a cohesive display system rather than a formal text face.
