Identify the maker and the actual alternate sets
Senzana’s Death Crow offering identifies a Gothic metal design and lists uppercase, lowercase, numerals and two uppercase alternate groups. The maker’s distribution note labels the offered file a demo and separately mentions a skull vector resource. Keep the font edition, alternate choice and illustration identity distinct: an illustration included in a package is not automatically a letter or a built-in character.
Balance the first and last capital without hiding the word
Try a short original name in the base capital forms, then compare one alternate at a time in a glyph-aware application. Begin with the first and last letter and inspect whether their projections pull the word unevenly to one side. Keep a plain reading copy underneath the decorated version so a successful silhouette does not disguise an omitted or confused letter. If two adjacent capitals collide, compare a different available form before changing spacing across the whole word. Pirata One is an independent dark display comparison, not a Death Crow edition.
Make the image and the lettering work independently
For an original cover, keep the title, your own illustration and the supporting caption in separate layers. Inspect the title without the illustration, then reduce the combined composition to the intended small preview size. If sharp details merge, simplify the surrounding frame before adding another contour around every letter. Compare a single-color proof with the final palette to see what the color was concealing. Creepster supplies a separate horror-display comparison. The homepage copyable dramatic text styles use Unicode substitutions rather than Death Crow’s alternate outlines or packaged vector artwork.
Your questions, answered.
Does the maker document alternative capital forms?
Yes. The maker’s feature list names two uppercase alternate groups.
Is the skull vector necessarily part of the font alphabet?
No. The maker’s note mentions a separate vector resource; package artwork and font glyphs should be identified separately.
