Barbed | Hand Drawn Horror Film Font

US$12.00

Barbed is an all-caps, hand-drawn display font with jagged, uneasy edges — inspired by barbed wire, 90s Pamela Anderson iconography, and the gothic whimsy of Edward Scissorhands. It’s a typeface that leans into the raw, imperfect, and off-kilter, making it ideal for projects that need a mix of horror, folk craft, and underground music energy.

With sharp, irregular lines and an intentionally human touch, Barbed doesn’t try to be precise — it’s meant to feel alive, cut by hand, and slightly dangerous. Each letter carries the tension of something etched, scratched, or carved, perfect for bold designs that reject polish and embrace grit.

What You Get:

  • .otf font file only

  • A–Z uppercase letters (NO lowercase, numbers, or punctuation)

  • Designed as a display/logo-focused font — intentionally all caps

Perfect For:

  • Horror-inspired posters, zines & film titles

  • Punk, metal, and alternative music merch & gig flyers

  • Logos and wordmarks with a raw, handmade edge

  • Editorial layouts that need an unsettling, graphic punch

  • DIY crafts, packaging, and signage with a gritty feel

Barbed isn’t neat — it’s jagged and human. Use it to inject edge into your projects, from eerie film posters and rebellious album covers to underground brand marks that thrive on imperfection.

Your purchase includes a Standard Desktop Font License for one user (one seat). This covers use in print (posters, packaging, branding), digital graphics (web, social media, apps), logos, and both personal and client projects.

If you need multiple users, web/app embedding, or fonts for resale/merchandise, please reach out to arrange an Extended License.
