Khazad-Dum Expanded Italic Font

Khazad-Dum Expanded Italic by Daniel Zadorozny of Iconian Fonts is a free eroded display font with broad, forcefully slanted capitals. Chipped edges and sharp cuts give it a battle-worn finish.

Merchandise gives this lettering a convincing home, especially on heavy-metal shirts, fantasy game apparel, and combat-sports graphics where its aggressive silhouette can become part of the artwork. Posters and event branding can use the same rough texture to suggest noise, impact, and hard physical surfaces rather than polished digital type. In publishing, it suits fantasy novel covers and music magazine features that benefit from lettering with the look of a hacked or weathered inscription.
