Casket - A Spine-Chilling Serif Font
Studio 2AM · Christopher King · 2025
A textured gothic serif by Christopher King evoking worn gravestones and typewriter-era gothic literature, supplied with a blood-drip variant and full alternate character sets.
About
Casket draws on the aesthetic of aged letterpress and gravestone inscriptions, with a deliberately worn texture suited to horror, mystery and western themes. The family includes a standard cut and a 'drip' variant with ghoulish detailing, each offering a complete set of character alternates to avoid repetition and sustain an analogue feel. Coverage extends to uppercase, lowercase, numerals, punctuation and symbols.
Classification
A textured, aged serif with gothic horror styling, designed primarily for display use despite claims of body text suitability. Its worn, hand-drawn character places it firmly in the display/decorative category rather than a conventional text serif.
