Darah Erc by The Monotype Corporation is a free horror display font with heavy, dripping letters that look wet and slightly unruly. The rough, swollen shapes and hanging ends give the font a splattered slasher-poster mood, while the blunt weight keeps the wordforms bold rather than fussy.
It fits naturally on Halloween flyers, horror game logos, B-movie cover lines, haunted house posters, and spooky party invites, where a free font with this much ooze can carry the whole headline. Use it in short titles, packaging callouts, or title cards when you want the letters themselves to feel messy and menacing.

Description
Contemporary sans serif design, Arial contains more humanist characteristics than many of its predecessors and as such is more in tune with the mood of the last decades of the twentieth century. The overall treatment of curves is softer and fuller than in most industrial style sans serif faces. Terminal strokes are cut on the diagonal which helps to give the face a less mechanical appearance. Arial is an extremely versatile family of typefaces which can be used with equal success for text setting in reports, presentations, magazines etc, and for display use in newspapers, advertising and promotions.
