A heavy, compact sans with simplified, blocky letterforms and mostly rounded outer corners. The defining feature is an irregular “drip” treatment along the lower edges of many glyphs, creating small tapered stalactite-like terminals that vary in length and placement. Strokes are generally uniform and solid, with occasional notches and gouges that add a distressed, cut-out feel while keeping counters relatively open for legibility at display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same chunky proportions, and the overall rhythm is steady despite the intentionally uneven bottom contours.
Best suited for short headlines, title cards, posters, and themed promotions where the dripping baseline can be a central graphic cue. It works well for Halloween events, horror-comedy media, spooky party materials, and bold packaging or sticker designs that benefit from a strong silhouette and a playful sense of menace.
The dripping silhouettes evoke slime, ink, or melting paint, giving the font a spooky, mischievous tone. It reads as theatrical rather than serious—more haunted-house fun than true menace—while still carrying an edgy, grungy bite.
The design appears intended to merge a straightforward, readable display sans with an instantly recognizable dripping effect, delivering character and theme at a glance without complex letter construction. The goal is quick impact and atmosphere—turning ordinary text into a prop-like graphic element.
The drip effect is strongest on curved and wide shapes (like O, C, S, and numerals), where multiple droplets create a lively baseline texture. In text settings, the repeated drips form a distinctive dark band along the bottom of lines, so generous line spacing helps keep the texture from feeling crowded.
