Author's note

Vampiress by Nate Piekos is a free horror display font with the sharp, nocturnal attitude of classic pulp and B-movie titles. The letters feel clawed and slightly feral, mixing narrow spikes, sudden curves, and long descending points that give the whole font a bitten, blood-drip rhythm rather than a neat gothic polish.

It works naturally on Halloween posters, comic covers, haunted attraction flyers, horror zines, and spooky title cards, where a free font needs to bring mood fast in just a few words. Use it for short headlines, chapter openers, or logo-style naming, because those needlelike strokes and uneven edges carry the eerie tone before any illustration does.
