A heavy display face built from classic serif letterforms that have been distorted with irregular, dripping terminals and puddled undersides. Strokes are thick and compact in the counters, with sharp wedge-like serifs and occasional bristly, uneven edges that read as wet ink or melting paint. The drip treatment is applied inconsistently across letters for an intentionally messy rhythm, creating lively silhouettes and a hand-ruined texture while keeping the core shapes recognizable.
Best suited to short display settings such as headlines, posters, and promotional graphics where the dripping texture can be appreciated. It works well for seasonal Halloween materials, horror or thriller titling, and playful “gross-out” branding moments, and is most effective when given generous size and spacing.
The overall tone is eerie and theatrical, mixing horror-movie goo with a tongue-in-cheek, cartoony energy. It feels mischievous rather than grim, designed to grab attention through visual “mess” and exaggerated ink drips.
The design intention appears to be a recognizable, traditional serif foundation made deliberately irregular through dripping, ink-like deformation to create a memorable novelty texture. It prioritizes silhouette drama and themed atmosphere over neutrality or extended readability.
The exaggerated bottoms and dangling drips add visual weight below the baseline, so lines can feel crowded in text blocks. Numerals and capitals are especially poster-forward, with strong silhouettes that favor impact over refinement at smaller sizes.
