An Expressionist, Cartoon-ish, Horror Display Font.
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!

EXCLUSIVE: Just One License
Countless customers have contacted me over the years, totally confused by industry standards in font licensing, baffled by its terminology and legal requirements. Frankly, I don’t blame them. When you just want to buy a font, decoding the rights and wrongs of Desktop, Web, ePub and App licences feels like an unnecessary hurdle. Add to that the number of users (or seats) you might need, plus the fortune-telling required to know how successful a project might be, something that should be fun becomes a stress.
That’s why I’ve introduced Just One License. A enterprise style license that covers everything you might need, including perpetual physical, digital, broadcast and streaming use, so you can develop your projects without the worry of future compliance. It’s a great option for freelancers, studios or corporations covering a broad media landscape.

– Full Commercial Use

– Studio Use (Installation on Multiple Computers/Users)
