Blackletter Buffoonery

by Chequered Ink · Website

Blackletter Buffoonery from Chequered Ink takes the dense, vertical architecture of traditional gothic letterforms and simplifies it with clean geometric shapes, stripping away the ornate calligraphic detail you'd normally expect. The result is a blackletter that reads as modern and slightly tongue-in-cheek, heavy enough for headlines and display use but with a stylized edge that keeps it from feeling too serious. Best for posters, logos, and branding that want medieval weight without the historical baggage.
