A heavy display face built from simple, compact letterforms with rounded bowls and slightly condensed proportions. The defining feature is its dripping, irregular terminals: many strokes end in teardrop-like descenders and soft spikes that create a wet-ink silhouette. Stems stay mostly uniform in thickness, while edges wobble subtly, giving an organic, cutout-and-inked look. Counters are generally open and readable, though the drips add visual noise that increases as size gets smaller.
Best suited to short, high-impact text such as titles, posters, movie-style headlines, and seasonal promotions. It also works well for game UI headers, spooky stickers, or product labels where the dripping silhouette can be a core part of the visual theme. For longer passages, using larger sizes and extra line spacing will help preserve legibility.
The overall tone reads as classic horror and haunted-house signage, with a gooey, cinematic drip effect that feels more theatrical than truly sinister. It balances creepiness with a tongue-in-cheek, Halloween-party energy, making it feel fun, graphic, and intentionally messy.
This design appears intended to deliver an instantly recognizable dripping-ink horror motif while keeping letter structures familiar enough for quick reading. The consistent gooey terminals and slightly irregular outlines aim to create strong thematic texture and a memorable headline presence.
The drip shapes are relatively consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, producing a cohesive texture in lines of text. In dense settings the hanging terminals create a strong bottom rhythm and can visually darken the line, so generous leading helps maintain clarity.
