Metal Cry is a font family that was inspired by countless hours spent playing video games, watching old movies or reading comic books. And even more hours closely analysing the design of all these things.

The art of creating beautiful letters has slowly declined with the rise of the digital age and its solid-colour, 2D fonts. And most of the time, the care given to typography in cultural products just isn't what it used to be anymore.

This was the inspiration for Metal Cry, a family of 4 layerable fonts that can bring a feeling of depth to its letters, and offers endless possible combinations.

Metal Cry Outlands is the basic shape of all the characters, it can be used as the bright side of the bevel.

Metal Cry Front is the inline border font that can be used as the front side of the bevel.

Metal Cry Shadow can be used as the dark side of the bevel.

Metal Cry Depth can be used to flash out the inside shape of the letter.

But of course, any font can be combined with any other font(s) to obtain various results.
