Gothic Birthday Cake

by Bill Roach

Gothic Birthday Cake is a novelty display face by Bill Roach that splits the difference between spooky and celebratory, pairing gothic letterforms with a playful, slightly absurd decorative sensibility. The result is quirky and darkly whimsical, like Halloween party invitations or a haunted bakery sign. Best kept to headlines and short text where its odd charm can land without wearing thin.
