Holy Heretics and Holy Daimon by Frater Acher

Published August 5, 2025

Scarlet Imprint is an independent Cornwall-based publisher specializing in contemporary occult texts and practices. Founded in 2007 by Peter Grey and Alkistis Dimech, it has become the leading platform for magical and esoteric literature since its publication of “The Red Goddess”.

A trademark of Scarlet Imprint is the handcrafted design of its books. Each edition is published in both digital and hardback form and around five titles are published each year. The focus is on high editorial standards and careful production and the publishing house works exclusively with printers and suppliers who are committed to sustainability and reducing environmental impact. All materials used are of archival quality and FSC-certified to ensure the longevity of the books.

Special attention is also paid to the typography. For the typesetting of Holy Heretics, the third and final volume of Frater Acher’s Holy Daimon series, editor and designer Alkistis Dimech chose Romaine by Aad van Dommelen.

The title and initials are set in Remnants by A Practice for Everyday Life and form an exciting contrast to the text font.

The book Holy Daimon, which combines historical knowledge with practical ritual work, also uses Romaine as a body text font. The title is set in Garda Nova 2 by Mário Feliciano, while the initials are set in Optimum Compress by Simon Bent.
