31 Days of Horror Fonts

31 Days of Horror Fonts is my self-inflicted October creative challenge that leaves me with a boatload of potential typeface ideas that may be worth finishing. But will they? The concept is simple: I’ll release 31 different (possibly horror-related) title cards on each of the 31 days of October. At the end of the month, I count up the likes, or “votes”, on each post and whichever has the most, gets made into a typeface.

Follow the action in real time, and vote for your favorites. This year it’s not just Instagram, we’re going to be posting the fonts in 7 different places.

The Post with the Most, Babe

There are 3 Ways to Vote:

1 – Like & Comment

Cast your “Vote” by double-tapping (liking) and/or commenting on that day’s post. Each of these will count as one vote for that day’s prompt. Vote as many times as you like, for as many posts as you want. Use the links above the calendar to Vote wherever works for you, or Vote right here.

2 – Bonus Vote Days (Instagram Only)

October 15 & 30 are Bonus Vote Days. I’ll be making a special Bonus Vote Day post on Instagram. Comment the name of your favorite typefaces in that post, and those comments will count as additional votes.

3 – Email Vote Days (Horror Font Fanclub)

October 13 & 31 are Email Vote Days. Cast extra votes for your favorite horror fonts in your email from the Horror Font Fan Club. Look for and click the Vote Now link. It will take you to a 3 question survey. Vote for your first and second favorites. Then you can comment other fonts, or anything else you’d like to say. Cast even more votes.

At the end of the month, the post with the most likes will get made into a typeface. I’ll create a font based on the lettering used in whichever post had the most votes. I usually also create fonts based on more than one of these because sometimes I just get really into it… and I like creating fonts. That shouldn’t derail me from completing the 31 Days of Horror Fonts though.

Will I Survive?

Here is a list of fonts designed during 31 Days of Horror Fonts in past years, with links to the available fonts. Sometimes the names change during development for a variety of reasons.
