Hi there :)

I was hoping anyone here could help me identify a font my client wants to use for a horror show. The font looks sort of satanic. The capital letter “S” has a devilish tail attached at the bottom, the “t” looks like a tall catholic cross, and the “o” has a cross inside it. The lower case “i” appears in two different hights.

Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Thanks, Tanya

PS If anyone can recommend another satanic/devilish type font, that would be great too!

It looks like a modified Mason, but this could be one of the poorly drawn rip-offs from free font land.

Because identical letters are not identical it points to a hand-drawn logo, or something hand-customized.

Similar fonts could be Mason Serif (or Sans) from Emigre.

Another called ’Blackfriar’ actually has horns on the ’g’.

For some reason Percolator seems to show up in a lot of devil-ish contexts, maybe because it ’perverts’ normal letters?

Another font with somewhat arcane letterforms is Font Bureau’s Saber.

There are many others that just need some imagination and creepy shading to look sinister.

Actually Hrant Papazian developed a series of designs collectively called Daam. I’ve always thought his Brutaal was particularly devilish! ;^p

Thank you everyone SO much for taking the time to reply! “Brutaal” I think is my favourite font to use for this project, in Dutch it means “rude/obnoxious”. Perfect :) Cheers, Tanya

I doubt many people would make a Satanic connection - unless the Devil works for the BBC and drives a Saab.

Cheers, Si

Gee... I’ll have to work out a commission scheme with Hrant ;^p
How about another free lunch at Zankou Chicken?

Try Exocet for satanic face.
