Punkinkhead It's a font full of punkinheads! But it's not just a dingbat font, it's a sneaky collection of Jack-O-Lantern templates that you can print and use. The documentation includes lots of handy tips on Jack-O-Lantern carving and preservation, too, so you'll be psyched and ready to cut gourd. Freeware.

Martian Hull Markings is a freeware"alien alphabet" font in two styles, Regular and Gloopy. . . . Mars needs women, and this is the alphabet they're sporting this year on their hotrod flying saucers! The font is monospaced, with 26 characters, mapped to the normal (lowercase) alphabet, A through Z.

Archipelago is a very silly (freeware) font where all the letters and numerals are drawn as islands! It would make for a wonky logo, but I actually use it as a mapping font: by layering the letters over one another in unusual ways, I can quickly create any sort of continental outlines I need, and they still have a hand-drawn look. The lowercase letters are solid; the uppercase are hollow outlines (composite shown).

Hultog is a freeware "antiqued" font inspired by an old Venetian-style typeface. For my fantasy campaign, I wanted an antique font that wasn't quite as grungy as most of the ordinary ones, and one that felt a little more turn-of-the-century and a little less medieval or Victorian. I've used it extensively in map-labeling since, and Visionary Games laid out their entire Archangel RPG in it. You can also snag the engraved and snow-cap variants.

Prison Walls and Uneasy are my ventures into the chaotic realm of pure-madness scribbled fonts. The first font, as the name implies, screams out from within solid boundaries, while the second is open, disturbed, and jittery.

Vermin Magic is another experiment with hand-drawn type taking letterform inspiration from minimalist, legible digital type. In this case, I drew inspiration from a tiny videogame font, and doodled from there to give it sharper points, looser curves, and a funky blend of the warm and the sinister. Freeware.

Cup and Talon is some truly humble hand-calligraphy given a dash of redemptive style with some vertical-scrape texturing and a bit of digital smoothing and rescaling. It's pure low-fi fantasy gaming, named after my oldest campaign fantasy tavern (and it's appeared on signage in the Nodwick comic, so this apple isn't meant to fall far from the tree). Freeware.

Deco Freehand is a grungy, messy deco font I sketched out with a permanent marker on paper with a lot of bleed. When adapting the sample to font form, I decided to keep the rough edges. Mostly just a font-building exercise, but it has a bouncy kind of fun to it. Sand in the face of symmetry! If cavemen liked deco! It's seen some commercial use as part of an unusual hybrid art-soap-and-tea project, too. Freeware.

The Alchemist is the handwriting of an odd fantasy-world character. But it's a character who lives in the fantasy city Hultog is named for (which is in the same campaign as Wolves & Ravens) so, clearly, a pattern is emerging, here . . . Freeware.

Dirty Headline In a universe of stressed poster fonts with sharp edges, I needed a stressed poster font with slightly blotted edges. I built it for Fly From Evil, my crime-drama RPG, but it's been used worldwide by musicans, sports teams, state lotteries, book publishers, filmmakers, candy companies, at least one dairy, a bank, a French supermarket chain and more (and Fly From Evil still ain't done)! Includes a full alphabet and numeral set (small-cap), and stuff (version 2.0 includes a full U.S. keyboard, euro, yen, pound sterling and more).
