Cardinal

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Cardinal is a decorative gothic display face by Dieter Steffmann that draws on the rich tradition of medieval calligraphic lettering. The letterforms carry an elegant weight, with pointed arches and ornate strokes that feel pulled from an illuminated manuscript or ecclesiastical text. Best kept to headlines, drop caps, and display settings where its intricate detail and old-world character can read clearly.
