Author's note

Lycanthrope by Sinister Visions is a free horror display font with ragged, blade-like letterforms. Its uneven strokes shift between broad torn shapes and thin scratches, and pointed extensions give the lettering a feral, hand-cut silhouette.

Horror film posters are its clearest setting, since the rough contours resemble claw marks and distressed title art. The same aggressive texture suits metal merchandise, dark fantasy game covers, and haunted attraction graphics, where it can become part of an illustrated emblem or a deliberately menacing brand identity.
