Author's note

Momento Mori, John Flickinger's free eroded display font, leans into a battered letterpress mood with rough, weathered edges and a heavy texture that eats into every stroke. The letters feel worn by time rather than decorated, giving the font a blunt, distressed presence that reads as gritty and human.

It suits poster work, album art, horror packaging, zine covers, and title cards where a free font with real abrasion can carry the whole mood. Use it for short headlines, dramatic cover lines, or a single oversized initial when you want the scarred texture to do more of the talking than ornament.
