Gallaecia

by Alberto Varela Ferreiro

Gallaecia is a decorative uppercase display face by Alberto Varela Ferreiro that draws on Celtic and medieval letterforms, with wedge-shaped strokes and angular details that recall carved stone inscriptions from the ancient Iberian northwest. The name itself references the Roman province of Gallaecia in modern-day Galicia, grounding the design in a specific historical and cultural tradition. Best used at large sizes for headlines, titles, and themed projects where you want something that feels genuinely rooted in pre-medieval European lettering rather than generic fantasy.
