Why Fonts and Colors Matter in Halloween Design
Choosing the right Halloween font is more than just picking something spooky; it’s about creating the right atmosphere. From dripping letters to textured, hand-drawn styles, each font has to create that spooky vibe we love about Halloween. Pair the fonts with dark, moody colors like deep purples and dark reds, or even neon greens for the perfect halloween design.
In the examples I’ve provided below, each font gives off its own distinct Halloween vibe. Whether it’s fun and playful, serious or creepy and mysterious. I’ve also included the exact hex codes for the used colors so you can easily use these combinations in your own designs.
