Black Forest

Black Forest font by PJL is a free distorted display font with the look of blackletter dragged through brambles and wet ink. Its jagged, splintered strokes feel thorny and weathered, giving titles a feral medieval mood, like a warning carved into old bark.

Using Black Forest works beautifully for metal band logos, horror posters, Halloween invites, dark fantasy book covers, occult merch, haunted attraction flyers, and game title screens. Keep Black Forest large, and pair this free font with a plain sans for supporting text so the rough texture stays sharp instead of turning into a blur.
