A heavy display face built from compact, blocky letterforms with irregular, dripping terminals. Strokes are mostly upright and monoline-like through the stems, then break into tapered, uneven “ooze” shapes at the bottoms and occasional interior notches. The silhouettes feel cut-out and organic rather than geometric, with soft corners and small bite-like indentations that add texture. Spacing is relatively tight and the overall rhythm is dense, producing strong, high-impact word shapes in both caps and lowercase.
Works best for headlines and short callouts in Halloween promotions, haunted-house or horror event materials, and title treatments for games, streams, or themed packaging. The strong texture also suits stickers, merch, and social graphics where a dramatic, gooey silhouette is desirable.
The dripping edges and ragged contours create a classic horror-poster mood with a slightly tongue-in-cheek, B-movie energy. It reads as spooky and theatrical rather than refined, aiming for shock, suspense, and stylized grime.
The design appears intended to simulate wet ink or slime dripping from solid letter shapes, creating an instantly recognizable spooky effect. Its compact, heavyweight construction prioritizes impact and atmosphere over neutral readability, making it a purpose-built display font for themed graphic work.
The drip treatment is applied consistently across the set, giving lines of text a distinct baseline “melt” that becomes a key visual feature. Counters are kept open enough for display use, but the busy terminals and heavy color make it best suited to short settings where the texture can be appreciated.
