Author's note

About Dead by Paula Baptista and Bruno Breda is a free horror-grunge display font with ragged, brush-cut letters that look scraped, torn, and half dried in place. The shapes feel tall and unstable, with blunt strokes, drips, and rough edges that push it toward poster-horror rather than neat trash styling.

It fits flyers for gigs, zines, indie film titles, Halloween promos, and raw cover lines where the free font can carry a mood before the words are even read. Use it for title cards, short headers, or a big opening initial when you want the letters to feel weathered and a little feral.
