blacklettermedieval-inscription blackletter
A modern take on fourteenth-century Metz Cathedral inscriptions, mixing gargoyle-like terminals with rounded serifs and gooey ligatures.
About
Profane merges angularity and softness, keeping enough of its medieval inscription source in diamond-shaped counterforms and sharp terminals while softening the overall texture with contemporary details. Published on Flavia Zimbardi's Women In Type imprint with collaborator Fátima Lázaro.
Classification
A modern take on fourteenth-century Metz Cathedral inscriptions, keeping enough of blackletter's broken structure and gargoyle-like terminals to sit in that category despite its contemporary rounded serifs.
