A heavy, display-focused alphabet built from rounded, inked-in silhouettes with irregular edges and frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes feel hand-shaped rather than geometric, with subtly uneven outlines and pooled-looking counters that vary from glyph to glyph. The baseline is lively and slightly unstable due to descending drips, while bowls and apertures stay relatively open for the style. Numerals and lowercase follow the same gooey, softened structure, keeping a consistent, ink-drip texture across the set.
Best used at display sizes for headlines, posters, invitations, and short callouts where the dripping texture can read clearly. It suits seasonal promotions, haunted attractions, game or streaming thumbnails, and packaging/labels that want an eerie novelty look. For longer text, it works more as a decorative accent than a body face.
The overall tone reads as spooky and theatrical—more haunted-house poster than gritty realism. The drips and softened blots evoke slime, melting wax, or wet ink, giving the face an unsettling but approachable, tongue-in-cheek character. It leans toward Halloween fun and horror parody rather than pure menace.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate horror-themed atmosphere through bold, rounded forms paired with drip-like erosion. By keeping the letter skeletons familiar while distressing the edges, it aims for strong legibility with a distinctive spooky texture that reads quickly in posters and title treatments.
Spacing and silhouette width fluctuate notably between letters, which adds to the handmade feel but makes long passages look busy. The most distinctive feature is the repeated droplet motif along bottoms and inner contours, which becomes a strong texture at larger sizes and higher contrast settings.
