Headache PRO Font

Price range: $20.00 through $80.00

Headache is a display sans-serif built to be noticed. Headlines, posters, wordmarks, campaign titles — anywhere contrast and presence matter more than subtlety. It’s been in use since 2017, downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. The Pro version is the complete edition: refined uppercase, true lowercase, full Latin extended character set.

Headache started as a caps-only display font in 2017. The aesthetic landed fast – something between futuristic and deliberately chaotic – and it spread across album covers, brand projects, merch, and editorial work in a way that was hard to predict and harder to explain.

The Pro version fixes the one thing that was always wrong with it. The original had a second “style” that was just the uppercase letters with minor variations, barely useful, visually inconsistent. That’s gone. In its place: actual lowercase letters, designed from scratch to work alongside the uppercase. Same character. Better execution.

The uppercase has been refined too. Not redesigned – the personality is intact – but the rougher inconsistencies from the original have been resolved. It’s the same font, done properly.

Headache is a single-style display typeface. It’s built for short, high-impact setting: headlines, titles, wordmarks, poster copy. It’s not a body text font. Use it where you need something to hold attention, and pair it with something quieter for everything else.

Why is there only one style?

Headache is a display typeface - it was designed to do one thing and do it well. A single refined style is more useful than two inconsistent ones. The 2024 Pro version replaced the original's second style (a weaker variant of the uppercase) with true lowercase letters, making it a complete and coherent typeface rather than a set of workarounds.
