Asset Description

Hushward is a survival horror font with narrow letters and scratchy, nervous edges. Small spikes break the outline here and there, the stems shake a little, and a whole line looks like it was scratched onto a wall by someone in a hurry.

It stays readable in words and short sentences, so it works for notes, objectives and menu items inside a horror game, not only on the title screen.

Perfect For

  • 🔦 Survival and psychological horror games: titles and UI
  • 📼 Found footage and indie horror posters (Commercial version)
  • 🗒️ Creepy notes, diary pages and clue handouts
  • 🎃 Halloween flyers and haunted house signs
  • 📺 Horror stream overlays and thumbnails

Design Tips for Hushward

  • Use it for in-game notes and objectives too; the scratchy edge survives at 18 px on dark UI panels.
  • Off-white or dirty paper colors look more frightening than red; save red for a single word.
  • Tilt short notes by one or two degrees and add a paper texture behind them for a found-note feel.

How to Use Hushward

Windows / macOS Double-click the OTF or TTF file and click Install
Canva, Figma, Photoshop Install the font, then pick Hushward from the font list (Canva: upload the font file)

License

Hushward is free for personal use (OTF and TTF). For commercial games, apps, merch, streams or client work, choose the Commercial version: the same font files plus a WOFF2 web font, with a Commercial License. For custom terms, email support@pixarts.store.
