Bastarda

Bastarda is a calligraphic display face rooted in the medieval bastarda script tradition, a hybrid hand that blended formal textura with cursive letter shapes across late medieval Europe. The letterforms carry an elegant weight with visible pen influence, giving it a historical richness that works for headlines, chapter titles, and Celtic or medieval-themed projects. Best kept to larger sizes where the decorative strokes and calligraphic detail can come through clearly.
