Mary Jane Meade Font

Mary Jane Meade, from Apostrophic Laboratories, is a free distressed Victorian display font with a weathered, slightly gothic swagger. The letters feel cut from old wood type and worn by use, with ragged edges, dark notches, and curled serif details that give the alphabet a spooky poster voice rather than a clean revival look.

It suits Halloween flyers, band posters, vintage-inspired packaging, saloon-style signage, and eerie book covers, where that chipped texture does some of the mood-setting for you. As a free font, it also makes strong title cards, cover lines, and monograms, especially when you want the caps to look old, theatrical, and a little unruly.
