Thirteen O Clock

Thirteen O Clock font by Nate Piekos is a free decorative horror typeface with tall, wiry letters that look scratched straight out of a haunted clocktower. The stems feel like crooked iron bars, while the tiny curls and hooks drip with occult, storybook energy. It has a narrow, slightly uneasy rhythm that pulls the eye along like a flickering candle down a dark hallway.

Using Thirteen O Clock, your titles instantly pick up a gothic, ritualistic mood that works beautifully for horror book covers, Halloween posters, metal band logos, escape-room branding, tarot or occult zine titles, and spooky game menus. This free font thrives at large sizes where its thin lines and eerie ornaments can really breathe; pair it with a clean, understated sans serif for body copy so the lettering remains the star of the page.
