Dark Crystal Script

Dark Crystal Script font by Dennis Ludlow is a free fantasy display typeface that looks like it was carved out of shadow and flame. Thick, inky strokes curl into sharp hooks and sweeping tails, giving the Dark Crystal family a cinematic, dark-fantasy energy that feels straight off a movie poster. The letters lock together with a dramatic rhythm that instantly turns a plain title into something mythic, dangerous, and a little bit arcane.

Using Dark Crystal Script, your headlines and logos don’t just speak, they hiss and shimmer—perfect for metal band branding, horror and fantasy book covers, game titles, movie posters, gothic event flyers, and dark-themed merch. This free font works best when it’s big and bold; support it with a simple, neutral sans serif for body text to let those jagged curves and sweeping strokes steal the scene.
