The inspiration for this font made its first appearance in the 1897 American Type Founders specimen book, under the name “Lithotint”. As the name suggests, the original was tinted gray (diagonal lines formed the body); this version is solid and spooky, too.

The font contains a few ghostly graphics, including ghosts at the bracket positions, a haunted house at the backslash position, and a scary backdrop at the ASCII tilde and ASCII circumflex positions.

Both versions of the font include 1252 Latin, 1250 CE (with localization for Romanian and Moldovan).
