Johnny Homicide

Johnny Homicide font by Vic Fieger is a free eroded scary display typeface that looks like it’s been hacked out of ink-soaked cardboard and left to rot. Thick, swollen letterforms are punched through with ragged holes, giving each word a brutal, almost claustrophobic weight. The texture feels gritty and hand-done, like a photocopied zine title that’s been copied one too many times and picked up every shadow along the way.

Using Johnny Homicide, your titles don’t just speak, they snarl. This free font works beautifully for horror movie posters, Halloween flyers, slasher book covers, metal or punk band logos, escape room branding, and creepy game titles. Keep it big and bold for maximum impact, then pair it with a simple, clean sans-serif for supporting text so the chaos stays right where you want it—on the headline.
