Pick Ax

Pick Ax, by B.O. Nelson of Brain Eaters Font Co., is a free modern Gothic font with an axe-hewn blackletter attitude. The letters lean on sharp wedges, split angles, and long pointed strokes that make the alphabet feel chipped from wood or cut with a rough blade rather than carefully drawn.

That harsh rhythm suits poster titles, horror zines, game logos, album covers, and tattoo-inspired branding where a free font can bring in medieval menace without looking antique and ornate. It also works for short headlines, chapter openers, and title cards, because those jagged cuts and spear-like verticals give even a few words a tense, aggressive shape.
