Author's note

Richter by Sander Kessels is a free horror display font built from torn, thornlike strokes and a fiercely uneven outline. Its letters look cut from splintered paper, with ragged edges, sharp intrusions, and sudden shifts between solid areas and open gaps that bite into the forms.

Posters are its clearest home, especially for horror events and underground music. The same shredded silhouette suits game graphics, Halloween packaging, and creature-themed merchandise, where the lettering can become part of illustrated claws, tangled brambles, or torn-paper collage work.
