Burned Gothic

Burned Gothic font by Paradox is a free eroded display typeface that looks like it’s been scorched at the edges and left to smolder. Tall, narrow letters wobble just enough to feel human, while the rough, inky outlines give every word a singed, uneasy texture. It stays readable, but there’s a constant sense of smoke and shadow running through the line.

Using Burned Gothic, you can push titles for horror movie posters, haunted house flyers, metal band merch, escape room branding, thriller book covers, or dark game menus into more unsettling territory. This free font works best big, where the grain and erosion show; pair it with a clean geometric sans at smaller sizes to keep layouts sharp and legible.
