An Expressionist, Cartoon-ish, Horror Display Font.
Designed using a strict adherence to triangular shapes, resulting in an abstract and chaotic appearance.
Introducing a font that absolutely nobody was waiting for, Shock Value! What started as a misguided experiment with triangular shapes grew into a display font reminiscent of German Expressionist cinema, 90s cartoons, and the inevitable dash of horror.
While its appeal is certainly limited, it might suit projects with an irreverent sense of humour, or something that needs to appear chaotic, unhinged and hand-made. If you needed a font that feels like a cold slap in the face with a fish, you’ve found it!
I even went to the effort to create all the uppercase and lowercase characters, numerals, multilingual support, and a complete set of alternatives for all five styles – I must be nuts!
If I can remain positive for a moment, (like a parent to a child who’s just been shown an indecipherable scribble) I’d say that it does look cool used in title designs, when mixing up the sizes and using the angular features to create interesting character combinations. Why not laugh/see for yourself in my visuals! Enjoy!
