Author's note

The X-Files by SpideRaY is a free distorted display font with tall, uneven letters and an unsettling cut-paper silhouette. Its swollen curves, pinched joints, and abrupt changes in stroke width make the alphabet look warped by heat or seen through faulty glass, and several forms seem ready to tip slightly sideways.

A paranormal event poster is its strongest setting, with the strange contours also fitting horror film packaging and mystery game graphics. Across those uses, the irregular shapes can become part of smoky shadows, damaged photographs, or eerie title treatments, linking the lettering directly to stories of distortion and unease.

--

This font is based on the nine-season television series The X-Files and its two released feature films. A third film was anticipated to complete the trilogy.

A fully kerned, embeddable OTF commercial version of this font is available.
