A heavy, rounded sans with soft corners and an intentionally irregular silhouette. Strokes are thick and fairly uniform, with subtle wobble and slight asymmetry that keeps the rhythm lively rather than geometric. Many glyphs feature drip-like terminals and ragged lower edges, creating a wet-ink/ooze effect that breaks the baseline and adds texture. Counters are generally open and simple, while widths vary noticeably between letters, reinforcing a hand-made, one-off feel.
Works best in short, large-size display settings such as posters, event flyers, haunted attraction signage, and title cards where the dripping texture can carry the theme. It can also fit playful horror or slime-themed game/UI headlines, stickers, and packaging accents. For longer text, it’s most effective as a headline or pull-quote paired with a cleaner companion font.
The overall tone is mischievous and macabre-leaning, balancing cartoon friendliness with a haunted-house grime. The drip details read as slime, melting paint, or horror-poster gore, giving it a playful scare-factor rather than outright menace. It feels energetic and unruly, suited to attention-grabbing display moments.
Likely designed to deliver an immediately recognizable dripping effect while staying legible through simple, rounded letter construction. The irregular edges and variable widths appear intentional to avoid a sterile rhythm and to evoke hand-rendered, messy paint or goo. Overall, it aims for themed impact and character over typographic neutrality.
Capitals remain straightforward and readable despite the distressed drips, while lowercase forms amplify the gooey texture, especially in rounded letters. Numerals follow the same treatment, with softened shapes and occasional drips that keep the set visually consistent. The font’s strongest character comes from its bottom-edge erosion and terminal drips, so it benefits from sizes where that texture can be seen clearly.
