Neo-Medieval Typeface

A semi-Gothic typeface, primarily inspired by a 1474 French Gotico-Antiqua printed type found in medieval incunabula. This unique transitional style is historically situated between the transition from Gothic type and the development of Roman type. This mixed type combines a Roman uppercase with a Gothic rotunda lowercase. This digitised revival connects the parallels between the 15th and 21st centuries, which has been called ‘neo-medievalism’.
