Halloween-themed designs can look more spooky with scary fonts. If you need to create this look in your projects, there are actually a number of free scary fonts and dingbats out there. However, scanning the web for them would surely take time. So here, we decided to narrow down your choices by rounding up what we believe are the top 25 scary fonts that you can download for free.
Halloween is one of the most awaited holidays of the year not just among young people but also for the not-so-young age group. Designers, too, are excited about this season since it means more projects to keep them busy. With less than a month away, designers have surely started working on their Halloween design projects. And, since fonts are one of the most major element in any design, designers are therefore always in the lookout for quality types that we can use to complement graphics and reinforce the theme of the design. There are thousands of beautiful fonts out there that you can use for your designs.
The first part includes alphabet scary fonts while the last ten entries (part 2) are dingbat fonts or those types that have symbols and shapes in the positions designated for alphabetical or numeric characters. These dingbats are very useful in creating interesting Halloween graphics instantly. If you have a vector program like Adobe Illustrator, you can actually use these dingbats as vector graphics by converting them into outlines or curves.
