Despair

by Dan Marian Sabanovici

Despair is a gothic display face by Dan Marian Sabanovici with ornate, heavily decorated letterforms that pull from medieval blackletter traditions while pushing into something more theatrical and brooding. The dark, dramatic strokes and intricate details make it strictly a headline face, best reserved for large sizes where the ornamentation can actually register. A strong pick for horror packaging, dark fantasy titles, or anything that needs to feel ancient and foreboding.
