Author's note

Dragon Slapper by Andrew McCluskey is a free modern Gothic display font with an aggressively angular silhouette. Broad black strokes collide with sharp cutouts, narrow joins, and sudden wedges that make the letters look carved and fractured. Traditional blackletter proportions are pushed into something more abstract and contemporary.

Its pointed geometry can echo sword blades, armor, and heraldic illustrations in fantasy game graphics. The dramatic shapes also suit metal album covers, event posters, and merchandise built around dark or medieval themes. Across these uses, the same blade-like cuts let the lettering become part of artwork rather than a neutral caption.
