Author's note

Thriller is a free eroded horror display font with broad, upright capitals and battered slab serifs. The edges are aggressively chipped and torn. Repeated triangular bites and downward spikes make the lettering look cut from damaged wood or corroded metal.

Posters are its strongest medium, especially for haunted attractions, underground music events, and pulp-inspired film promotions. The rough silhouette also lends itself to game graphics and merchandise, where the letters can become part of a scratched or splintered surface. Its clearest home is horror and suspense, with enough texture to suggest decay, danger, and violence before any supporting image appears.
