Fearsome Font

I watched the movie Red Dragon a while ago and it inspired me to make this rather spooky font. I was going to call it Dolarhyde (after the antagonist), but settled on the more unsettling Fearsome. Fearsome is a handmade

Carpe Noctem Font

Carpe Noctem (Latin for ‘Seize The Night’), was a bit of a surprise. Someone asked me if I could create a lower case for my Closet Skeleton font. I began working on it and lo and behold, a beautiful font

Lost Soul Font

Here is a font that is set up just for the ghouls, ghosts and spooky going-ons. It looks like its decaying and dripping, a terrifying upper and lower case font with numbers and symbols. Produce a cool looking poster or

In the wood Font

In the wood font hard to classify but I was aiming for an old American gothic feel. It’s a uppercase display typeface. 100% handmade. It looks a bit spooky, a bit scary and it’s quite distressed. It’s not full-on horror,

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

Castine Font

Castine gets its name from a small coastal Maine town with a seagoing heritage and long history. The town has an old cemetery with a few 200-plus-year-old headstones whose distinctive carved lettering inspired the typeface that shares its name. Castine’s

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

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

Ichabod Font

This typeface was inspired by the 1820 classic writing “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving. I created it to feel 200 years old and 2 hours old at the same time. To call it “timeless” would be cliche,

Paradise Lost Font

Paradise Lost is a 1667 poem by John Milton which mostly concerns the Biblical story of the Fall of Man, Eve’s temptation by the devil and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden. It’s quite a hefty read, as

Horror Show Font

Horror Show™ is a new adaption of the type styles which were commonly used on horror movie posters and magazines of the mid-20th century. ALTERNATE CASES While there are no real lowercase letters in the Horrow Show™ fonts, there are

YWFT Attic Font

This is about a journey, from humble EPS handset to magical OpenType glory that might even be a bit spooky if it wasn’t so darn majestic. This stately YWFT Attic is full of surprises, with gorgeous stylistic alternates and swash
