Headline Two HPLHS Font

Headline Two HPLHS font by Andrew Leman is a free comic display typeface with a deliciously rough, hand-inked edge. Tall, slightly wobbly letters and scratchy strokes feel like they’ve been pulled from a vintage horror comic or pulp magazine headline, giving your words an urgent, nervous energy. The irregular texture keeps it from feeling cute or cartoony-it’s more creaky attic than kids’ notebook.

Using Headline Two HPLHS, your titles instantly carry that scruffy, Lovecraftian zine vibe without extra effects. This free font works beautifully for horror posters, comic covers, game titles, escape-room props, Halloween event art, and eerie YouTube thumbnails. Set it big so the grainy edges show, and pair it with a clean grotesque sans for body text to keep your layouts readable and tense at the same time.
