About

Tarisel merges Gothic and Lombardic letterform traditions into a single display typeface, distinguished by broken counterforms and dramatically scaled serifs. Lombardic and Gothic alternates extend its range for decorative applications including drop caps and monumental lettering. The collaboration between Type Goblin and Zetafonts has earned the face award recognition.

Classification

Classified as blackletter due to its Gothic and Lombardic character roots, broken counterforms and gigantic serifs. The 'hybrid-Gothic' descriptor and display orientation place it squarely in the decorative blackletter tradition, adapted for contemporary titling use.
