Darka specimen from Sudtipos

A gothic, calligraphic blackletter blending Textura, Fraktur and Bâtarde into an original design with a Mexican soul.

About

Darka began as personal calligraphic hand-lettering before evolving into a digital typeface with alternate glyphs and flourishes that preserve its hand-written tension. Sharp terminals and seductive curves make it work at both display sizes and, more unusually for a blackletter, in short text settings.

Classification

Blends the balance of Textura, the flow of Fraktur and the lowercase-to-uppercase ratio of Bâtarde into an original calligraphic blackletter.
