Author's note

Helena-Squat font by PJL is a free decorative serif typeface. Its wide, compact letters are stitched together with curling, vine-like strokes that spill along the baseline, giving every word a slightly eerie, storybook feel. The texture is inky and dense, so titles feel weighty and a bit mysterious, like something pulled from an old grimoire or fantasy map.

This free font shines on gothic posters, fantasy or horror book covers, band logos, occult or tarot packaging, and moody event invitations. Using Helena-Squat at larger sizes lets those sweeping curves and bridges really breathe; support it with a clean geometric sans for body text to keep the layout readable and grounded.
