Ravenheart Font

I like Ravens. In fact, I like them so much that I have a tattoo of a Haida raven! Ravenheart was more or less modelled on my Qilin font, but it is completely different. It is scary and inky, but

Cry Wolf Font

When I was a kid, I loved the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf. I thought it was pretty stupid of the boy to trick the villagers into believing wolves are attacking his flock of sheep. But I also

Flagellum Dei Font

Flagellum Dei is Latin for ‘The Scourge of God’. It is a title given by later generations to Attila the Hun (406-453 C.E.). Flagellum Dei is also a rather scary font, which I made with the use of a stiff

Crypt Font

Crypt is a seemingly lovely font that will look good in just about any design. But if you take a closer look, then Crypt is actually quite a scary font: it has jagged edges and a sinister undertone, making the

Kerberos Fang Font

A creepy, blood-splattered horror font, made entirely with brushes and ink. Ideal for websites and halloween. Published by HanodedDownload Kerberos Fang

Hangman's Delight Font

Hangman’s Delight is a scratchy, all caps font. The upper case letters come with swirls and curls, but the lower case letters are unadorned. A bit of an unusual font, I admit, but it would look nice on book covers

Downward Fall Font

Downward Fall owes its name to one of my favorite Opeth songs, called The Funeral Portrait. The song itself is an uptempo metal composition with rather dark lyrics. This peculiar combination, a mix of good and evil if you will,

Kubikajiri Font

Umbilical Noose Font

Umbilical Noose is a rather scary typeface. It is quite similar to an older font of mine: Nyctophobia. The name comes from a Nirvana song called Heart Shaped Box, in which Kurt Cobain sings: “throw down your umbilical noose, so

Nightbird Font

Nightbird is a very detailed and scary brush font, made with ink, paint and stiff bristle brushes. It comes with an abundance of gore, decay and splatter. Nightbird is a rather heavy font, so be patient. Comes with all the

Face Your Fears Font

Face Your Fears was created using a brush, paint and ink and a lot of paper. Due to the horror-like nature of Face Your Fears, the font looks great on websites, games and – of course – halloween cards. It

Liquid Embrace Font

Liquid Embrace is a rough ‘n’ ready brush font. It was created using a Chinese calligraphy brush and Royal Blue Ink (I had run out of black…). Liquid Embrace is fat and in your face, making your message stand out

Cinnabar Brush Font

Cinnabar Brush is a font named after a mineral – mercury sulfide to be precise. I quite like the name and the color, so naming a font after it made sense. Cinnabar Brush is a very bold, very outspoken brush

Dirrrty Font

The Three Degrees had a song called ‘Dirty Ol’ Man’; Christina Aguilera danced around to the tune of ‘Dirrrty’ and my three kids leave everything that way after they have finished their meals, so I guess I really had no

Knockdown Font

Finding my long-lost inkwell was a lucky moment for me and it resulted in a whole bunch of brushy/inky fonts. The latest font to leak out of this well is Knockdown. It is a bold and wild brush face, but

Adso Font

Setting Fraktur free Bruno Bernard designed Adso between 2005 and 2010. Combining the modernity of uncluttered shapes with the noble beauty of Blackletter structures, it is a robust yet refined display typeface. Adso is the first result from Bernard’s research

Antiphon Font
