Midnight Creepy
Midnight Creepy is a horror display face in which every stroke melts: the caps are heavy and irregular, and the bottoms of the letters run down into long drips that end in rounded drops.

Letterform structure
of Midnight Creepy.
MIDNIGHT over CREEPY fills the card in a blood red on a dark scene of a house at night, and the letters are built from thick uneven strokes that look poured rather than drawn. Each stem ends in one or two drips of different lengths, so the baseline is a ragged fringe, and the tops of the letters are cut flat with a slight wobble. A caption above names the foundry and one below names the face and the occasion. The face is a seasonal display cut: it does the whole job of a Halloween poster in one word, and its needs are simple — a dark ground, one ink, and enough size for the drips to read as drips rather than as noise.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Midnight Creepy’s stroke geometry.
Poster for a Halloween party
One word in this face does the work of an illustrated poster, and the drips read from the end of a path where a subtler design would disappear.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A2 poster: set the greeting at 130 pt across two rows, keep 40 mm of clear ground beneath the drips before the time at 14 pt, and hold 26 mm of margin so no drip is trimmed.
Pre-production check
Long drips run past the text block; print one poster at the final size and check the longest drip before the run.
Card for a horror film night
The lettering names the evening and sets its tone, and a single red word on black is enough for a card passed between friends.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 105 by 148 mm card: set the greeting at 36 pt across two rows, keep 18 mm of clear ground beneath the drips before the details at 8.5 pt, and hold 12 mm of margin at the card edge.
Pre-production check
Small cards turn drips into specks; print one at the finished size and check a stem before the batch.
Label for a spicy sauce
The dripping strokes suggest the heat and the mess of the product, and one black-and-red label on a dark bottle looks like a shelf statement.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 55 by 85 mm bottle label: set the sauce name at 18 pt on one row, keep 9 mm of clear ground beneath the drips before the heat level at 4.5 pt, and hold 6 mm from the longest drip to the die line.
Pre-production check
Drips crowd a small die line; print one label at the real size and wrap it onto a bottle before the order.

Bold comic caps
Spooky Brook
Spooky Brook is a bold comic display in red on aged yellow paper: heavy rounded caps with flat tops, a slight bounce, an R with a straight leg and a K whose arm meets the stem at a sharp angle, with a tracked caption beneath in a small bold sans.
Ideas for this font
Tall irregular spooky capitals with wobbly contours
Haunted Nights
Haunted Nights is a tall irregular capital alphabet in which the stems wobble, the counters sag and the outline breaks unevenly, so a two-word greeting reads as lettering cut quickly for a porch sign.
Ideas for this font
Round Halloween blocks with oversized sweeping strokes
Wicked Ghouls
Wicked Ghouls builds heavy softly rounded capitals and then lets one counter become a ghost, with oversized strokes sweeping away from the word.
Ideas for this font
Loose rounded lettering with varied heights and uneven crossbars
Funies Halloween
Funies Halloween is a loose rounded display alphabet in which the letters bounce above and below the baseline, the heights vary and the crossbars sit at different levels, so a word reads as something cut out and taped down.
