A display face built from bold, ink-like strokes with softened corners and frequent terminal drips. Letterforms are generally monoline in feel but vary subtly in stroke thickness, with ragged edges and uneven contours that suggest wet paint or ooze. The silhouette stays sturdy and readable at larger sizes, while the bottom-heavy drips and nicks create a deliberately distressed rhythm across the line. Capitals and lowercase share a consistent, handmade construction, with open counters and slightly irregular proportions that keep the texture lively.
Best suited to short display settings where atmosphere matters: Halloween promotions, haunted attractions, horror film titles, spooky event flyers, and game or streaming title cards. It also works well for packaging or labels that want a camp-horror vibe, and for punchy on-screen headings where the dripping details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is spooky and theatrical, leaning into classic haunted-house and creature-feature aesthetics. Dripping terminals and rough edges add a sense of unease and messiness, reading as both ominous and playfully macabre rather than sleek or modern. It conveys suspense, danger, and a Halloween-night kind of drama.
The design appears intended to evoke dripping ink or slime while keeping letterforms straightforward enough for quick recognition. By balancing sturdy shapes with controlled roughness and repeated drip terminals, it aims to deliver an immediate horror cue for headlines and themed graphics.
The texture is integrated into the letter shapes rather than applied as a separate overlay, so the “drip” motif repeats consistently across rounds, stems, and bowls. Numerals follow the same oozy treatment, helping mixed text (dates, prices, countdowns) maintain the same horror flavor. The irregular edges may fill in at very small sizes, so it performs best when given room to show its silhouette.
