Author's note

Stiletto Black by Rafael Dinner is a free curly display font with a sharp Art Nouveau streak. The letters lean into high-contrast drama, pairing broad, sweeping forms with needle-like points and tapered flicks that feel elegant, slightly dangerous, and very ornamental without turning fussy.

This free font fits projects that want a theatrical, vintage accent - perfume packaging, gothic romance covers, cocktail menus, poster headlines, and title cards all make sense here. It also works well for monograms and short brand marks, because the style lives in those sinuous curves and blade-like finishes rather than in plain, even lettering.
