Anglo-Saxon, 8th c.

by Flight of the Dragon · Website

Anglo-Saxon, 8th c. is an ornamental initials font from Flight of the Dragon, drawing directly from the richly decorated letterforms of 8th-century Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. The characters are dense with interlacing knotwork and Insular-style flourishes, capturing the painstaking artistry of medieval scribes. Purely a display face, it works best as drop caps, chapter openers, or decorative elements in Celtic, historical, or manuscript-inspired design where the intricate detail can be appreciated at large sizes.
