With its gently rounded corners, Belgia Sad Font Style brings a certain understated reserve to text, which makes it an excellent choice when you are looking for a sad font. Belgia includes uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, punctuation, and multilingual support.
Dreaming Sad Fonts (TTF, OTF, WOFF)
Dreaming Sad Fonts is just the kind of font you need when you're looking for a font that works well in sad projects. The nice thing about Dreaming is that apart from being sober, it's also elegant, so it works well for funeral invitations and other projects where you need a sad yet elegant font.
Silent Dream Fonts That Show Sadness (TTF, OTF, WOFF)
Aside from the usual upper and lowercase characters, numbers, and punctuation, Silent Dream offers some alternates and ligatures that you can choose to incorporate into your text or not. With sad fonts, you do want to keep things fairly simple, so bear that in mind.

Deadly is an excellent choice when you want to saturate a project with a sense of darkness and depression.
