Canva is one of my favorite tools to use as a crafter, business owner, blogger, and even just as a mom who likes to DIY a few things at home. Launching just a few years back, it’s a free (or low-cost if you get the PRO subscription) that allows you to design pretty much whatever you could possibly imagine. And, it comes with an expansive library of free fonts for their users – which is why, since it’s spooky season, were going to look at some of the best FREE Canva fonts for Halloween!
Although Canva doesn’t have the same freedom of design as Adobe, it’s great for those who want to create templates, printables, PNGs for sublimation, monograms/names for Cricut, and other similar crafts/ideas. As of right now, you can chose from their FREE membership which is perfect for crafters and designers who are just doing it for themselves, or the pro membership ($12.95/month). The pro membership is best for shop owners who plan on selling products with their Canva designs.
Since we’ve covered some of the essentials, let’s go ahead and take a look at these spooky fonts on Canva to use this upcoming Halloween:

The BEST Free Canva Fonts for Halloween
When choosing the best font for your project, you want to consider your purpose, space, and readability. Some Canva fonts are harder to read than others – while others are more “Halloween-esque” than the others. I like to curate lists that give a little bit of everything so you have a better chance of finding what you need and this list of Canva Fonts for Halloween is no different!

Now, let’s take a look at the BEST free Canva fonts you can use for your craft or design projects this upcoming Halloween season:
#1. Jeepers
Jeepers is probably the go-to Canva font when you want to design something spooky or Halloween-esque. It fits easily in most designs and has that traditional Halloween look. Personally, it has a great blogger aesthetic as a font that features all caps versus the ones with lowercase letters.
#2. IM Fell
IM Fell is a spooky Canva font that gives me “horror novel” vibes. I like that it’s a subtle spooky/creepy style rather than one as obvious as Jeepers or some of the others coming up on the list. This font does have both lowercase and uppercase letters in its’ design, which allows it to be more adaptable for different projects.
#3. Abys
I truly love the painted feel of the Abys font. It makes me think of a haunted house, which is ideal for Halloween season. It’s not overdone or gaudy, nor is it hard to read which can be a common issue in display fonts. This font does lack lowercase letters, so keep it in mind before choosing it for your design.
#4. Max Somsin
It’s long letters make it perfect for small and tall design spaces, the font Max Somsin is a good choice for a not-so-obvious Halloween font. It’s more subtle than other display fonts, but it still give a spooky and chilling style. This Canva Halloween font does have both uppercase and lowercase letters, but has an awkward size which may need to be constantly adjusted during use.
#5. Kust
Another font that has a painted look like Abys, the Kust free Canva font is another great option for Halloween. The Kust font is like a mix between Jeepers, Abys, and Max Somsin – a little messy, but thats what makes it work! It might be the perfect aesthetic that you’re looking for. This is another font that has all caps and it does have a few oddly sized letters that can make placement difficult.
#6. Barriecito
Barriecito is a Canva font that I recently discovered and absolutely love for the fall holiday season. It resembles ransom note letters as seen in movies! It’s still a creepy font, but in a different way versus the others. It’s not a font that screams scary, but one that can be used to convey other spooky themes in your projects!
#7. Kamorebi
I almost skipped over the Kamorebi font on Canva, but I felt it perfectly suits the idea of “modern horror” as a font. I would picture this as a nice font to use for your subtle Halloween tee designs or even a Halloween printable for your personal use or for your little ones.
#8. Butcherman Caps
When I picture a font for horror movies, this is the one. The Butcherman Caps Canva font is another classically Halloween spooky font to use. While it does not have lowercase letters, all the uppercase letters are evenly sized. This makes it easier to create designs and space your words evenly.
#9. Moonlight
The Canva font Moonlight almost doesn’t match our theme of spooky scary, but it stills feels very much classically cute Halloween. Since I like to strive for diversity, I didn’t want to skip over this perfect option for the entire fall season. This font has both uppercase and lowercase letters in its’ design.
#10. Distillery Display
To me, the Distillery Display font in Canva is a combination between The Nightmare Before Christmas and Hocus Pocus. If you’re looking for a good font to use for quotes, this one is it. This is another font that is only all caps and does not have a lowercase letter option.
#11. Sensa Sans
Last, but not least on the list is Sansa Sans. This Canva font is a clean option for a spooky design. While it doesn’t have the same immediate effect as Jeepers or Butcherman Caps, the sketch style of the letters and all-caps design makes it a great option for scary ghost-like designs.
