Author's note

Drawing Blood by David Kerkhoff is a free horror display font with frantic, splintered strokes. Its tall letters look scratched into place, with ragged edges and sudden changes in weight. Loops and crossbars stay loose and uneven, sharpening the sense of agitation.

Horror and underground music audiences will recognize its raw, confrontational manner. It suits film posters, album packaging, and Halloween event graphics. In magazine publishing, it can turn a feature title into part of the disturbing imagery.
