Black Widow

Black Widow font by Font Diner is a free distorted serif font that looks like it’s been dragged through ink and left to dry in the dark. Chunky letterforms are chewed at the edges, with irregular blotches and splatters that feel worn, grimy, and a little dangerous. There’s a vintage newspaper vibe hiding under the decay, which gives this typeface a storybook horror charm rather than pure gore.

Using Black Widow, you can push titles for horror posters, Halloween party invites, haunted house branding, escape room graphics, zine covers, or retro thriller book jackets. This free font holds up best at larger sizes, where the gritty texture really shows. Pair it with a clean, modern sans-serif for body text to keep layouts readable while letting Black Widow handle the screams and shivers in your headlines.
