Author's note

VTKS Skulls by Douglas Vitkauskas is a free horror caps display font built around a dense collage of skulls packed inside broad, blocky letters. The caps feel loud and grimy rather than fussy, with thick outlines holding together a busy bone-and-shadow texture that gives the whole font a pulp-horror, metal-flyer mood.

It fits naturally on Halloween posters, haunted attraction branding, horror zine covers, band merch, and title cards where the letters need to carry the theme on their own. As a free font, it works best in short blasts - names, cover lines, and monogram-like initials - because the skull pattern does the talking fast.
