Erol Unziale specimen from Biliktu Foundry

A modernised uncial typeface by Murathan Biliktu, drawn from the lettering on Erol Büyükburç's 1976 Hop Dedik album cover, itself set in Walter Haettenschweiler's Breitfette Unziale.

About

The design takes Breitfette Unziale as its starting point and reworks it for improved legibility at contemporary sizes. Seven styles span display and text grades, giving the family practical range beyond purely decorative use. The broad Latin language coverage makes it suitable for multilingual projects despite its historical character.

Classification

Based on Breitfette Unziale, an uncial script style historically associated with medieval manuscript lettering. The design updates the uncial form for legibility and contemporary use, placing it firmly in the display category.
