Croteau is a typeface with a crooked grin and a taste for the uncanny. Its letters lean forward at a sly oblique, their chunky slab serifs gnawed into by jagged notches. This isn’t a polite horror font—it’s raw, irregular, and just a bit feral.
The real trick up its sleeve is a hoard of 250 ligatures. Pairs and triplets of letters lock together like bones in an ossuary, giving words a compressed, claustrophobic rhythm that draws the eye in. Activate your ligatures feature, and Croteau becomes a lattice of interwoven shapes; turn them off, and you lose half the fun.
Perfect for titles that need to look unsettling without stooping to gore, Croteau thrives in Halloween branding, B-movie posters, cryptic zine covers, and monster-themed game graphics. It’s equally at home channeling 1960s horror cinema or the scratchy DIY energy of a garage punk flyer.
With support for over 100 Latin-based languages, Croteau spreads its off-kilter charm far and wide. Use it when you want your typography to feel less like a line of type and more like something lurking in the shadows, waiting to be read.
