A stylized display face built from narrow, mostly upright forms with medium contrast and a deliberately irregular, hand-drawn finish. Strokes end in tapered, droplet-like terminals and occasional blobby spur shapes, creating a wet-ink, melting effect. Curves are slightly wobbly and counters vary in size, giving the alphabet an uneven rhythm while maintaining clear, recognizable silhouettes. The overall spacing feels tight and the widths fluctuate from glyph to glyph, reinforcing a jittery, organic texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines and short bursts of text for seasonal campaigns, horror or monster-themed packaging, event flyers, and title cards. It also works for game UI headers, streaming thumbnails, and social graphics where an immediately spooky texture is needed. For longer copy, pairing with a clean sans or simple serif will help maintain readability while keeping the display style for emphasis.
The dripping terminals and uneven stroke behavior push a spooky, horror-leaning tone that reads as theatrical rather than purely sinister. It evokes slime, ooze, and haunted-house signage—more camp and Halloween poster than grim thriller. The texture adds tension and movement, making lines feel alive and slightly unsettling.
The design appears intended to capture a dripping-ink or melting-slime motif while keeping letterforms familiar enough for quick recognition. Its narrow stance and upright posture help it stack in posters and titles, while the irregular terminals add character and theme-forward impact.
Legibility holds up best at larger sizes where the drip details and rough edges can read cleanly; at small sizes the terminals and micro-irregularities can begin to clump visually. Numerals and capitals carry especially strong personality through exaggerated droops and occasional top-heavy shapes, which can be used to emphasize key words and headings.
