What You Can Type With Darkhorn

Where Darkhorn Works Best

Designers usually reach for fonts like Darkhorn when they're making tattoos, metal band logos and dark fantasy titles. Its lowercase letters are tall compared to the capitals, which keeps it readable at smaller sizes. The file has no kerning data, so in logos and big titles check pairs like AV, To and Wa and tighten the spacing by hand. Blackletter is very hard to read in all caps, so type in normal upper and lowercase.
