Elementary Gothic Bookhand

by Bill Roach

Elementary Gothic Bookhand is a calligraphic blackletter from Bill Roach that draws on the formal bookhand scripts of medieval manuscripts. The letterforms carry that characteristic Gothic density and vertical emphasis, but with enough clarity to remain readable as a display face. Best used for headlines, chapter titles, and historical or fantasy-themed work where you want the weight of old-world craftsmanship without full illegibility.
