With autumn in full swing, and October right around the corner, it’s time to start looking for spooky fonts for your Halloween designs. Whether you’re looking for something child-friendly, or something positively terrifying, you’re bound to find something to use in our list of the best fonts for Halloween!

Best Bloody Font – X Termination

X Termination font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

X Termination has an intensely dark feeling, with quick strokes of splattered liquid thrown onto the canvas. This font could feature in a scene where a deranged inventor scrawls his manifesto in blood on the laboratory walls (or something equally frightening).

Best Family-Friendly Font – KreepTown

KreepTown font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

If you’re looking for something a little less grown-up, KreepTown is the font for you. The wider, rounder brush stokes are more reminiscent of cartoon ghost hunters than seasoned serial killers.

Best Spooky Font – Sinister Sunday

Sinister Sunday font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

Sinister Sunday has some gory horror vibes, but with a rounder, softer look than some of our other horror fonts. This makes it a perfect middle ground for projects that might be seen by people of all ages.

Best Party Font – Carnival Centenary

If you’re throwing a Halloween party and you need a font for the leaflets, why not check out Carnival Centenary? The playful, old-fashioned letters evoke a feeling of celebration, but there’s still an uneasiness about it – especially if you’re afraid of clowns!

Best Pixel Font – Spoopy Ghost Pixels

Best Horrifying Font – Butcher the Baker

Nothing says horror like Butcher the Baker. The straight, dirty brush strokes are a sign that somebody around here just snapped. Even the name sends a chill down your spine!

Best Skeleton Font – Happy Accidents

Happy Accidents font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

Sometimes you want a Halloween Font with a little more childish wonder. Happy Accidents is a great font for anything about skeletons, with its straight, bony lines ending in knobbly circles, it’s sure to fit in for child-friendly projects.

Best Witchy Font – Spinebiting

Spinebiting font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

Pointy, scary and a little bit strange. Spinebiting is a font that conjures up images of cackling witches leaning over a cauldron of bubbling ooze. It’ll give a really wicked vibe to any of your designs.

Best Vampire Font – Vampires

Vampires font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

With Vampires, the clue is really in the name. We designed this font from the ground up to be used in horror settings. The letters start thin at the bottom and get taller towards the top, to create the sense that they are towering over the viewer. Sharp letters like V, A and M extend beyond the line of the rest of the font, giving the appearance of menacing teeth.

Best Vintage Font – Manic Germanic

Manic Germanic font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

For Halloween settings with a more ancient vibe, like a deep dark crypt full of ghouls, Manic Germanic is a popular choice. The classic blackletter style would be at home in any graveyard, and the rough nature of the strokes makes it feel like it was truly carved in stone.

Most Readable Font – Yokelvision

Yokelvision font by Chequered Ink, fonts for halloween

Yokelvision is the last font on our list. Its cartoonish nature works great for Halloween parties and physical merchandise, especially since the clean letters make it easy to read at any size.

We’ve got even more creepy, horrifying Halloween fonts in our whole catalogue on our shop here, or you can get all 1200+ of our fonts for commercial use in our All Fonts Pack.
