Adhesion specimen from Basement Foundry

A single-weight blackletter by Delfina Mieth that reinterprets the dense, calligraphic letterforms of the medieval tradition through a pixel-based construction.

About

Adhesion uses the pixel as its structural unit, bridging historical blackletter calligraphy and contemporary digital aesthetics in a way that feels deliberate rather than decorative. The family consists of one weight across 165 glyphs, covering Latin characters with a range of accented diacritics for Western European languages. Only lowercase characters form the core design, with uppercase serving primarily as display initials.

Classification

A blackletter typeface rooted in medieval calligraphic tradition, distinguished by dense letterforms with flourishing ascenders. The design filters the historical style through a pixel-based construction approach, giving it a contemporary digital character.
