Ghoul

Ghoul font by Jordie Van Rijn is a free eroded display typeface that oozes horror-movie energy. Thick, inky strokes wobble like something hand-painted on a creaking carnival sign, while the rough, eaten-away edges give each word a decayed, underground feel. The letters stand tall and irregular, so your titles look like they’re clawing their way out of the page.

Using Ghoul, you can give instant creep-factor to Halloween posters, escape-room branding, haunted house signage, horror zines, spooky podcast covers, and eerie social graphics. This free font shines at large sizes, where the grungy texture really shows; pair it with a clean, neutral sans serif in small text to keep everything readable while Ghoul does the atmospheric heavy lifting.
