Clarisse

by Pi Luo Chiu · Website

Clarisse is a heavy blackletter face from Pi Luo Chiu that adds a dripping, melting quality to its gothic letterforms, pushing traditional medieval calligraphy into horror territory. The thick strokes bleed downward like wet ink or something worse, giving it a visceral darkness that works on haunted house posters, horror game titles, and album covers. Strictly a display face, best reserved for headlines where its dense, ornamental weight and eerie distortion can make a real impression.
