blackletterbâtarde
Givry specimen from TypeTogether

A single-weight blackletter drawn from the bâtarde flamande tradition, with an unusually fluid, syncopated rhythm that sets it apart from more rigid blackletter styles.

About

Givry is modelled on the bâtarde flamande, a hybrid script that blends the structure of Gothic textura with the cursiveness of chancery hands. The result is a blackletter with genuine warmth and movement, supported by an extensive OpenType feature set including swash capitals, multiple stylistic sets, discretionary ligatures and ordinals. Its delicacy makes it particularly suited to luxury branding and editorial contexts where historical script flavour is required without rigidity.

Classification

A blackletter in the bâtarde flamande tradition, characterised by its fluid, syncopated rhythm and delicate strokes. The bâtarde style sits between formal textura and more cursive scripts, giving Givry its expressive, lively character.
