ILL oCtoBer

ILL oCtoBer font by Kees Gajentaan is a free horror dingbat typeface. Rough‑cut pumpkins, crooked branches, watchful owls, and sharp lightning bolts look like they were hacked from black paper with a jittery pair of scissors, giving every mark a nervy, late‑night energy. The silhouettes are bold and inky, reading clearly even at small sizes while still feeling wild and handmade.

Using ILL oCtoBer, you can instantly dress up Halloween party flyers, haunted house posters, trick‑or‑treat bags, classroom worksheets, spooky social posts, and sticker sheets. Drop these icons in as borders, section breaks, or oversized spot illustrations, and pair this free font with a plain, clean sans serif for the text so the jagged artwork really crackles.
