12 th c. Abbey

by John H. Schmidt · Website

12 th c. Abbey is a calligraphic uncial face by John H. Schmidt that recreates the rounded, heavy letterforms found in 12th-century monastic manuscripts. The strokes have a rustic, hand-lettered quality that feels genuinely aged rather than artificially distressed, with the broad pen influence visible in every curve. Best used as a display face for headlines, drop caps, and historical or medieval-themed projects where authenticity matters.
