Following the theme "protect" my typeface is based off something one might want to protect themselves from - spiders. I have tried to imitate spiders legs through this font to create an unnerving "feel" about it.

why bother with matching the letter widths when it's a halloween special font

should i add dingbats?

Put a smile on your night. A happy Halloween to everybody! PS: Take a look to the lowercase, please, Someone is waiting for you...

Happy Halloween, 2022!

NO CAPS LOCKED REQUIRED!

A very tall, thin gothic font. It was made specially for Halloween, and will be perfect for spooky designs, but it'll work great for non-seasonal designs as well. It could also be said to resemble nordic runes, or to have a modern ethnic vibe.

LETTERS ONLY! And just in time for Halloween.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Nothing like helvetica, but think of this as a rejected spooky, emo cousin. 

Spook, part of GEOS FontPack PLUS.

There's a lot of horror and Hallowe'en themed fonts out there... here's another to join the plethora.  I liked this one back in the day for its adornment with bats, but when recreating it here in FontStruct I got an appreciation for how the pixels are randomly missing and look like a mummy's tattered rags.

The original didn't have much punctuation, I've added very little here - mainly quote marks and a dollar sign.  It'll be good for headlines and banners though, if you don't mind the pixellation :)

Next trick will be to make a glyph of the Ghostbusters logo to go into it, like I did with the Font Editor many years ago...

THE MOMENT YOU STEP INTO SPOOK MANSION, YOU REALIZE YOU DONE GOOFED UP. THE DOOR SLAMS SHUT BEHIND YOU AS SCARY PIANO MUSIC BEGINS TO WASH OVER YOU AND TERRIFYING KICK DRUM SOUNDS BEGIN TO PUMMEL YOU. WITHIN MOMENTS, YOU ARE DROWNING IN A SEA OF EERIE AMBIENCE. "WOE BETIDE THE FOOL WHO CONSPIRES TO TAKE MY RICHES!", SHOUTS A GHOSTLY VOICE SOMEWHERE BEHIND YOU. YOU TURN, BUT NOTHING'S THERE. BOO! LOL....................................................

The current month seems to hold a meaning of threads: of fog, dew covered spiders' webs, barely-there things, feint perceptions defying scientific understanding and fine links with ancestors, to keep us in the present and enable open minds and caring souls to better the future.                                This abstract interpretation of Halloween has been designed to echo the traditionally mysterious mood to show the past (known glyphs, earlier FS bricks) linked in the present (on paper, in the FS previews, and using some of Meek's newest bricks I experiment with in this design) to create future (text will carry meaning to the reader, diversity of thought not experienced until after every glyph is finished, and beauty of text flow is visible only after it has been written). Totally within my personal plan for Night Pegasus' work: adventurous, alternative, divergent, different, exploring, experimental, unusual --  after all, the flying horse is free to visit any time any item or existence in this universe and any place in Fontstruct, to discover and weigh possibilities, to create its future from the past in it's present body and mind, and it does this cloaked in black as deepest night, undiscovered unless someone has their feelers tuned into mystery and taps into experiences of presence.

:.:.:.: Information to help you when using this font :.:.:.:

If a LC glyph follows a UC glyph: you need to use the space bar 6X to get the correct letter space (it will then match the natural spacing between LC); using only LC glyphs (or only UC glyphs) will give satisfactory text results as letter space is set by the programming. But you'll need to manually add the word space you want: between UC (or LC) words a minimum of 3 space taps for a just visible gap, use the space bar 6x for good spacing. Experiment!

Note: the full stop and comma have a line on the baseline to link with UC. There might be no need for a 'space' after those two marks even on LC? The apostrophy has a short line to link it to previous/following UC glyphs (note those link lines retain the meaning of the glyph when used with LC glyphs or an LC following an UC glyph).

SPACE BAR = a 1px space; tap 3x to get a small word space that's obvious

% key = a set of reasonably wide lines to match upper case verticals

_underscore = a space consisting of a long single line on base line only

I'm trying to figure out some diacritics before the 31st so this remains WIP

Iterated version of an unreleased design called "Midnight Oil". It's also slightly related to Dethzmezenger and Gehenna.

I went against a few of my own conventions for this one. The close spacing might look a bit strange at times, but it eliminates the need for kerning while also creating a unique look. The overlapping spurs make me think of thorny plants!

This is an original design, but it does make me think of Planescape: Torment when I look at it, thus the name!

Experimental brush/pen thing. Has a slightly spooky look. Because of their tapering curves, many glyphs can render with a "split" or "stencil" look about them. This is due to software-imposed limitations on vector rendering. Designs which share this property can be considered Pseudostencils.

This design is not informed or inspired by any existing typographical traditions. I set out to make the "claw" bricks (as I call them) into a font and this is the result.

An inverted alternate version of Spiderling that's glitch-free... for now, at least!

I think this doesn't look nearly as spider-like as the original... your mileage may vary...

A sunburst pattern was converted to negative space, resulting in little spiders!

SPOOKY GHOST FONT. A work in progress. Getting the right spooky apparition look is pretty intensive, but I managed to finish the basic character set before Halloween. :D

*

This started as a 5x5 design. After realizing S and Z would look far better if I made them 1 square taller, I converted the whole font to be roughly 5x6. At this low resolution, it's hard to get the degree of irregularity which I think makes these letters look ghostly... but, the idea is certainly present!

This design seems like it'd fit in with a lot of horror and science fiction stuff, too. Apart from the "smoky"/"ghostly" look, it has a "melted" one which suggests a hot place or maybe immersion in acid. It also looks a bit like slime, and finally at smaller sizes it has a glitch-esque appearance.

A gnarled, pointy design which fits into many historical periods and aesthetics. It makes me think of Wild West woodtype and gargoyles.

I attempted a blackletter style without any knowledge or references. The result reminds me of a vampire's writing!

The name "Dethzmezenger / Death's Messenger" comes from one of many old joke bands which I created.

Original size: 17.25pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

A pixel font made to look like fire! Now you can answer (and ask!) your burning questions...

Drawing and editing these takes more time and effort than most other forms of pixel art. Don't expect them to look perfect without some time and effort from YOU, as well. An effect like this requires hand adjustment of every part at every stage.

The coloring, infill color, and effects you use with this font make a drastic difference as to what looks are evoked by its shapes! Scroll down for lots of examples. :^)

Alternates on lowercase!

TODO: Alternates for .,?!@_*#$%&()+/:;<=>[\]^`[|]~†123456890

Original size: 18pt (use multiples of this value for pixel perfection)

This font is based off the theme 'Wicked'. This is just a draft, but it is a complete set so I will leave it up to show my progress. This font uses spooky dead trees to make letter forms. This was not intended to have anything to do with Halloween, but the full set of characters was completed on this fateful 31st. Feedback is welcome! 

Created on Friday the 13th

Not Finished yet.

Uses over 60 unique bricks...

Another font in the "First of the Month" series.

Based on a shape experiment with octagons this design has grown into a 'real' font fit for headlines and messages to suit October and Hallows Eve/Halloween/Samhein. I'll add MoreLatin diacritics if you need them.  It would look good on cards for Halloween.

This font is meant to give off an eery scary slightly evil vibe.
