Abstract Metal Font: Crucial Noise
What’s your Crucial Noise? The Stooges? Metallica? Ratt? Megadeath? 50 chainsaws? Ours is the Crucial Noise font from Rony Rizki Jaya. This abstract font looks like a heavy metal demon’s steel robes are being smelted before your eyes as he makes a grand entrance. The roiling curves, blades and vortexes of this bad boy say dark metal, spells, nocturnal adventure.

Horror Font: True Gore
What did you expect exactly when the font is called True Gore? Were you surprised to discover that each letter and number offers two versions, united by the fact that both are bleeding? That the example images couple the font with animated skeletons wearing black robes, aliens and zombies hauling away fair maidens, creepy abandoned rural houses? You can hear the whistling wind and shrieks from the basement as soon as you look at this horror font masterpiece from PintassilgoPrints. Technically, True Gore is a “decorative font,” but decorative things also include paper flowers and wind chimes. True Gore sings a slightly darker tune, and consequently is the go-to font for graphic novels, comic books, book design, film titles, album covers, packaging, t-shirts, Halloween imagery, and more. In the words of the designer, use this all-caps display font anywhere, “you want that horror, disgusting look.” You cannot go wrong with that.
