Scarecrow

Scarecrow by Ethan Dunham is a free eroded serif display font with a dry, weathered cut that feels a little haunted and a little handmade. The letters lean on classic serif shapes, but the chipped edges and missing bites keep the texture restless, as if the alphabet has been worn down by wind and field dust.

That makes it a natural fit for poster titles, book covers, Halloween flyers, indie film cards, and packaging that needs a folk-horror or antique printed mood. As a free font, it works best where the rough silhouette can do the talking - short headlines, logo-style wordmarks, or chapter openers suit it especially well.
