Cranium

by Vladimir Nikolic · Website

Cranium is a dingbat font built entirely from skull-and-crossbones symbols, each character mapped to a unique skull design with expressive, grimacing faces. The illustrations are bold and high-contrast, sitting somewhere between classic pirate iconography and heavy metal album art. Good for decorative borders, pattern work, or anywhere you need a procession of sinister faces.
