Diamond Gothic

by James Fordyce

Diamond Gothic is a blackletter face by James Fordyce rooted in the textura tradition, with dense, vertical strokes and the rigid diamond-shaped feet that give the style its name. The letterforms carry a dark, formal weight that reads as distinctly medieval, making it a strong pick for headlines, titles, and decorative uses where you want that old-world gravity. It's strictly display territory, built to evoke manuscript pages and cathedral inscriptions rather than handle running text.
