Crimes of the Times font has that old newspaper crime-scene mood where every letter feels pulled from a headline nobody wanted to read calmly. Its distressed typewriter style gives words a rough investigative edge, perfect for designs that need mystery, urgency, and a little ink-stained paranoia. You get vintage grit without needing to build the whole layout from torn clippings.
True crime posters, noir book covers, escape room clues, podcast graphics, detective zines, horror flyers, and underground album art can all use this horror font well. Yellowed paper, red stamps, black grain, and messy collage details will make it feel properly suspicious.
