Rough Lory specimen from 6TM Magazine

A rough-edged blackletter with deliberately imperfect strokes, ink spots and dragged marks that evoke hasty medieval manuscript writing.

About

Thick strokes wobble, letters stretch and twist, and irregular ink traces give the impression of a worn pen applied too heavily to parchment. The 193-glyph set covers uppercase, lowercase, diacritics, numerals, punctuation and currency, making it functional for European languages within its display scope. It suits posters, packaging, editorial graphics and dark medieval-themed compositions.

Classification

Designed to evoke medieval manuscript writing with uneven strokes, irregular edges and ink-dragged marks, placing it firmly in the blackletter/gothic script tradition rather than a formal calligraphic category.
