Author's note

Goblin by Sorkin Type Co is a free high-contrast serif font with broad, dark shapes and sharply cut triangular serifs. Its swelling curves give the lettering a theatrical weight.

Designers working in fantasy entertainment or eccentric cultural branding will find it especially apt for posters, event graphics, and merchandise. The pointed details hint at folklore, yet the sturdy silhouettes keep the style closer to dramatic print lettering than costume novelty. In publishing, it can turn a book title or magazine feature opener into a compact illustrated emblem.
