These spiked fonts font have had an encounter with Font-O-Matic, a font distortion program that was briefly sold by Altsys. (I believe it is not longer published, but may be wrong about that. Only a MS-Windows version was ever marketed.) One of the distortions this program did was put spikes on the surfaces of letters. I do not know how useful this particular effect is, and it may be that this CD has more spiked fonts than anyone will ever need. (I hope so.) I have never had a need for a spiked font, but they were fun (and easy) to do.

The wave effect of Font-O-Matic produced effects that could be very similar to some of the short spike distortions.

(I found that the PostScript versions of the spiked faces are more reliable than the TrueType versions. In converting from the PostScript to the TrueType, Fontographer introduced some unwanted distortions on several letters that I have not been able to get rid of.)

AnarckhieJiggled is derived from Anarckhie. Though this is a serif font, it seems to work pretty well, probably because the spikes are kept so small. The very small spikes give it a wrought-iron look, which you may or may not find interesting.
