Author's note

Addams Capitals, designed by John Roshell of Comicraft, is a free blackletter font with narrow, sharply cut forms and dramatic thick-thin strokes. Its pointed tops and curling flourishes recall formal theatrical Gothic lettering.

A horror publisher or dark-fantasy game studio could use it for cover titles, posters, and merchandise with the look of an old engraved emblem. The repeated spikes and hooked curves also suit Halloween events and macabre entertainment, tying the lettering directly to haunted-house and medieval-fantasy imagery.
