Author's note

Haliwax by Kirk Shelton is a free distorted horror display font with warped, uneven letters and a raw cut-paper silhouette. Thick strokes narrow abruptly into spurs and ragged edges, giving the alphabet a nervous, handmade instability rather than a uniform distressed finish.

A haunted attraction, horror game, or underground music label could build titles and merchandise around its unruly lettering. Its torn contours and scattered flecks also suit Halloween event posters and pulp-inspired cover art because the recurring marks can merge with weathered printed surfaces, smoke, or shadow imagery.
