Author's note

Bosshole is a free hand-drawn horror display font with crooked, exaggerated letters and sharply changing stroke widths. Its uneven curves, pinched joins, and blunt flared ends give the lettering the unruly look of a strange hand-painted sign rather than carefully typeset text.

A haunted attraction or offbeat record shop could build its branding around this warped, theatrical lettering. It also suits gig posters, novelty packaging, and Halloween merchandise because the irregular forms feel mischievous as well as sinister. The font is most convincing when a title or product name is meant to resemble lettering drawn by an eccentric sign painter.
