Anvil font by Web Dog is a free gothic typeface that looks like it was hammered out of black iron. Each letter is packed with barbed curves, blade‑like spurs, and dense inky shadows, giving the text a jagged, forged-metal feel. The forms are tight and dramatic, so words lock together like pieces of armor, heavy with character and attitude.
Using Anvil, your titles feel more like emblems than text-built for band logos, horror or metal posters, fantasy game titles, dark festival branding, and bold merch graphics. This free font shines at large sizes where its intricate texture can really snarl. Pair it with a plain, modern sans in small text to keep everything readable while Anvil does the theatrical work up front.
