A heavy, condensed display face built from chunky, uneven silhouettes with frequent drip-like terminals. Strokes are thick and mostly monoline in feel, but the contour is intentionally irregular, with gnawed edges, small notches, and occasional interior voids that read like worn ink or melted material. The baseline is visually unstable due to hanging drips, and the overall rhythm is tight and compact with variable glyph widths and minimal counters in many letters. Curves are lumpy rather than geometric, and joins tend to smear into soft, rounded corners instead of crisp vertices.
Best suited for short display settings where texture and mood are primary—posters, title treatments, thumbnails, packaging, and seasonal promotions. It can work effectively for headlines and logos in horror or spooky-themed branding, but the heavy texture and drip details may reduce clarity in small sizes or long passages.
The letterforms evoke classic horror title cards and Halloween ephemera, with a sticky, oozing texture that suggests slime, blood, or melting paint. The tone lands more on theatrical fright than realism—playfully sinister, loud, and attention-grabbing—while still maintaining clear, bold impact at display sizes.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through an oozing, distressed silhouette—maximizing dark mass, tight spacing, and dripping terminals to create a visceral, “melting ink” presence. It prioritizes atmosphere and recognizability over typographic neutrality, aiming for quick impact in themed display work.
The drips are integrated as part of the silhouette rather than separate ornaments, creating a strong black mass and a recognizable texture from a distance. Round letters (like O and Q) keep legibility through simple internal openings, while many straight-sided forms rely on their distinctive ragged edges for character.
