A heavy, condensed display face built from chunky, rounded forms with deliberately irregular edges. Strokes terminate in teardrop-like drips and small notches, creating a wet-ink silhouette that hangs below bowls and terminals. Curves are soft and swollen rather than sharp, with occasional pinched joins and uneven contours that add a handmade, distressed rhythm. Counters are generally open enough to hold shape at larger sizes, while spacing feels tight and compact to keep words visually dense.
Best suited for headlines, title cards, and short callouts where the dripping silhouette can be appreciated—posters, flyers, packaging, thumbnails, and in-game menus for horror or spooky-themed content. It also works for seasonal promotions and party invitations, especially when paired with a simple sans for body copy. Use generous size and contrast to preserve the drip details.
The dripping details and gooey silhouettes convey a classic horror tone with a tongue-in-cheek, B‑movie energy. It reads as spooky and mischievous rather than refined, evoking slime, haunted-house signage, and Halloween spectacle. The uneven edges add tension and grime, reinforcing an unsettling, creature-feature atmosphere.
The design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable “ooze/drip” effect while keeping letterforms straightforward enough for fast reading in display settings. Its consistent slime motif and compact proportions suggest a focus on impactful, themed typography for entertainment and seasonal design.
Capitals have a strong poster presence and maintain consistent drip motifs across the set, while lowercase forms stay simple and rounded for quick recognition. Numerals follow the same oozing treatment and remain bold and legible, supporting short bursts of text like dates, prices, or countdowns. The texture is visual-forward, so fine details can merge at small sizes or in low-contrast printing.
