Author's note
Sanctuary is a free distorted display font with a chunky, cut-paper silhouette and a slightly spooky retro mood. The letters look carved from soft black shapes, with rounded corners, sudden angles, and uneven rhythm that makes the wordmark feel playful rather than chaotic.
That gives Sanctuary a natural place in poster headlines, album covers, zine mastheads, cafe branding, and title cards where a little wobble helps the message feel handmade. As a free font, it also suits short packaging names, event graphics, and quick social headers, especially when you want bold, compact lettering that feels odd, friendly, and a bit off-center.
