Author's note

Bokonon font by Todd Dever is a free trash typeface with a wild, gothic snarl. Its letters look scratched and splintered, with thorny curls and ink-blot edges that feel ripped from a cult horror VHS sleeve or a photocopied ‘90s zine. The occasional boxed letter punches through the chaos like a stamped seal, adding a ritual, almost arcane flavor that grabs attention in an instant.

Using Bokonon, you can give horror posters, metal band logos, occult book covers, Halloween flyers, game titles, and underground zine mastheads a raw, hand-wrecked energy. This free font shines when set large, where every jagged curve is visible; pair it with a plain, narrow sans-serif for supporting text to keep things readable while the main title does the screaming.
