A stylized, monoline-to-slightly-modulated display face with rounded bowls and gently irregular contours. Many strokes terminate in elongated drip shapes that hang below the baseline or from interior counters, creating a wet, melting silhouette. Letterforms lean toward simple geometric construction (clean verticals, open apertures) while allowing small asymmetries and uneven terminals for a handmade feel. Uppercase and lowercase share the same dripping motif, and numerals follow suit with consistent dangling ends and occasional interior “puddle” forms.
Best suited to display sizes for Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror-comedy titles, and themed packaging where the dripping terminals can be appreciated. It also works for short headlines, stickers, and social graphics; for longer passages, generous line spacing helps keep the drips from visually stacking.
The overall tone reads as spooky and theatrical rather than genuinely frightening—evoking classic horror posters, slime, and haunted-house graphics. The drips add suspense and a sense of motion, while the rounded structure keeps it approachable and a bit comedic, suited to lighthearted scares.
The design appears intended to deliver instant horror-theme recognition through consistent drip terminals applied across a clean, legible skeleton. It balances readability with graphic gimmickry so it can function as a headline face while still feeling characterful and cinematic.
The dripping details create strong character but also introduce busy lower silhouettes that can collide at tight leading or in dense settings. The most distinctive moments appear in rounded letters and figures where interior drips and soft counters amplify the “ooze” effect; straighter forms rely more on terminal drips for personality.
