Author's note

CM Shark Week by Christopher Means is a free decorative display font with dense, towering letters and a distinctly predatory silhouette. Deep triangular cuts bite into the strokes, and long hooked curves taper like fins or teeth. Compressed proportions turn a line of text into an almost continuous, forceful strip.

Surf and horror audiences are the clearest match. Its sharp contours can echo waves, jaws, or monster imagery on event posters and game title cards, then carry the same theatrical menace into novelty food packaging and horror merchandise.
