A heavy, all-caps-and-lowercase display face built from chunky, rounded silhouettes with irregular, torn-looking edges and frequent drip terminals. Strokes are mostly monoline in feel, but the contours wobble and swell, producing uneven counters and a hand-cut, organic rhythm. Many glyphs end in tapered drool-like descenders or small spikes, giving the baseline a consistently ragged profile. The lowercase mirrors the uppercase’s cartoonish massing, while figures keep the same blobby structure and distressed, melting details.
Best suited for large, high-contrast headlines where the dripping silhouette can be appreciated—horror or Halloween promotions, haunted attraction signage, film or game title treatments, and punchy social graphics. It can also work for short subheads or labels when ample size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is horror-leaning and mischievous rather than refined—more haunted-house poster than solemn gothic. The drips and ragged edges suggest slime, ink bleed, or melting wax, creating a playful sense of menace that reads as spooky and theatrical.
This design appears intended to deliver immediate genre signaling through exaggerated, melting contours and a rough, hand-made finish. The emphasis is on bold, readable shapes with spooky drip motifs that add atmosphere without relying on fine detail.
Texture is created through silhouette distortion rather than internal grunge, so the shapes stay solid and high-impact even with their irregular edges. The dripping details add character but can reduce clarity at smaller sizes, especially where counters narrow or terminals cluster.
