A heavy, hand-cut display face with thick, irregular strokes and soft, blobby counters. Edges are rough and uneven, with frequent downward drips and small nicks that create a wet-ink or melted silhouette. Curves are lumpy rather than geometric, terminals are mostly blunt, and interior shapes stay open enough to read despite the distressed perimeter. The overall rhythm is intentionally inconsistent, giving each glyph a slightly different contour while keeping a coherent, drippy texture across the set.
Ideal for headlines and short bursts of text on horror posters, Halloween promotions, haunted house flyers, game titles, and streaming/video title cards. It also fits themed packaging and sticker-style graphics where a gooey, distressed look is a feature. For longer copy, it’s best used sparingly as an accent due to the strong texture and heavy color.
The letterforms evoke classic horror and Halloween ephemera—goopy, shadowy, and a little mischievous rather than purely brutal. The drips and ragged contours suggest slime, ink bleed, or melting paint, producing an ominous yet fun tone well-suited to spooky entertainment and seasonal graphics.
The design appears intended to deliver an immediately recognizable “dripping” horror aesthetic with bold, high-impact silhouettes and a deliberately messy edge treatment. It prioritizes atmosphere and theme over neutrality, aiming for quick visual recognition in display settings.
The texture is concentrated on outer contours and terminals, so the face reads best at medium-to-large sizes where the drips and roughness register as character rather than noise. Rounded characters (like O, C, and G) maintain recognizable bowls, while straight-sided forms gain personality through irregular waviness and occasional hanging droplets.
