A heavy, hand-drawn display face with irregular, brush-like strokes and frequent drip terminals. Letterforms are compact and slightly condensed, with uneven curves, lumpy bowls, and ragged edges that create a deliberately distressed silhouette. Stems often end in rounded blobs or tapered points that pull downward into short drips, while counters stay relatively open for a solid, poster-friendly presence. Overall widths vary by glyph, adding a loose, organic rhythm across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited for short, high-impact text such as Halloween promotions, haunted house flyers, horror or thriller titles, game or streaming thumbnails, and novelty packaging. It also works well for event signage, social graphics, and logo lockups where the drips can read clearly at larger sizes.
The dripping terminals and roughened contours evoke classic horror signage and gooey monster-movie title cards, balancing menace with a tongue-in-cheek, Halloween-party energy. The texture reads as inky and alive, giving words a creeping, animated feel rather than a clean, polished tone.
The design appears intended to deliver immediate genre recognition through dripping, ink-like terminals and intentionally imperfect outlines, prioritizing atmosphere and punch over neutral readability. Its consistent “melting” motif across letters and figures suggests a display font built for themed headlines and branding moments that need an instantly spooky edge.
Uppercase forms tend to be more emblematic and blocky, while the lowercase keeps the same drippy vocabulary with simpler, single-storey structures. Numerals follow the same treatment with irregular outlines and occasional downward pulls, staying visually consistent for short codes or date-setting in themed layouts.
