Creepster
Every stroke in Creepster ends in a point or a claw, and the baseline wanders just enough that a word never sits still. It is the house style of the American horror comic and the drive-in poster rather than anything gothic or European, which is why it reads as fun rather than frightening. One weight, no lowercase worth the name, and no use for it below about forty pixels.

}Questions
- Is Creepster free for commercial use?
- Yes. Creepster is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Creepster in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Creepster belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Sideshow. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Creepster?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 1 font file inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Creepster support Turkish?
- No. Creepster covers Latin, but not the extra characters Türkçe needs — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ and ş. Text set in it would come out with missing or wrong letters.
- What languages does Creepster support?
- Creepster covers Latin and Latin Extended, across 230 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- Where can I download Creepster as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is creepster.woff2, and it is about 29 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
