A heavy, rounded display face with simplified, almost geometric letterforms that break into irregular drip terminals. Strokes are largely monoline in the main structure, with sharp contrast introduced by tapered, torn-looking descenders and ragged bottom edges. Counters are compact and dark, and the overall silhouette reads as chunky and poster-ready, with uneven “melting” details providing texture while keeping the core shapes legible.
Best suited to short display settings where the drips can be appreciated—headlines, posters, party invitations, seasonal retail graphics, and title screens. It can also work for logos or packaging that benefits from a gooey, horror-comic texture, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The dripping terminals evoke slime, ink, or horror-movie goo, giving the font a classic haunted-house feel. Despite the sinister texture, the rounded construction keeps it approachable and a bit cartoonish, balancing menace with playful seasonal energy.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror atmosphere through a familiar dripping motif while preserving straightforward, readable base shapes. It prioritizes bold impact and thematic texture over continuous-text comfort, making it a strong choice for seasonal and genre-driven branding.
The drip treatment is applied consistently across caps, lowercase, and numerals, creating a cohesive texture at larger sizes. Letter spacing in the sample feels intentionally tight and dense, emphasizing the bold mass and enhancing the spooky silhouette in blocks of text.
