Author's note

Slaytanic, by Chris Hansen, is a free heavy-metal caps display font with the look of a hand-drawn band logo from the early 2000s. The letters lean into sharp wedges, long diagonal cuts, and thin inline shadows, while the opening S hits like a lightning-bolt emblem and sets the tone for the whole font.

This free font fits music flyers, skate graphics, zine covers, horror title cards, and poster headlines where a raw, aggressive silhouette matters more than polish. It also works for short merch marks and monogram-like initials, because the caps lock together in a jagged way that feels loud even in just a few letters.
