Gates of the Volcano

Gates of the Volcano font by BlackFridayFont FMF is a free horror display typeface that looks like it’s been carved straight from cooling lava. Heavy black shapes, ragged edges, and molten-looking curves give each letter a scorched, mythic presence, like a warning sign at the edge of a crater. It has a dense, inky texture that instantly pushes your titles into dark fantasy, occult, or metal territory without needing any extra effects.

Using Gates of the Volcano, your words feel like they’re glowing over ash—perfect for horror posters, dark fantasy book covers, metal band logos, haunted attraction branding, game titles, and dramatic YouTube thumbnails. This free font works best big and bold, where its jagged silhouettes can really breathe; pair it with a clean, neutral sans serif for body text so the artful chaos stays in the headlines.
