About the family


Darkheart is where 1960s horror cinema meets the jittery pulse of handmade lettering. Its tall, condensed forms and jagged, cut-paper texture recall the titles that once loomed over drive-in monster flicks, yet it feels right at home on a streaming-era horror poster or punk gig flyer.

Every letter is built for tension. Compressed shapes crowd the line like they’re conspiring, while interlocking ligatures pull characters tight, creating a claustrophobic energy that draws the eye and won’t let go. It’s a style born from the analog past, when type had to be hand-lettered or wrestled into place on a phototypesetter, but reborn with the freedom of modern built-in features—letting you summon those intricate interlocks without lifting a finger. The skewed stance, uneven edges, and shifting stroke density give Darkheart a raw, physical quality—as if it’s been torn from a vintage horror comic or scrawled onto celluloid itself. It thrives in large, in-your-face headlines but still holds together in tighter layouts where space is scarce.

From retro grindhouse revivals to contemporary fear-driven campaigns, Darkheart delivers the atmosphere of menace you can feel in your bones. Type with it, and your words won’t just speak—they’ll lurk.
