Hopfer Hornbook

by Staffan Vilcans · Website

Hopfer Hornbook is an uppercase serif from Staffan Vilcans that draws on the ornamental letterforms of early printed books and woodcut alphabets. The characters have a distinctly antiquarian weight to them, with decorative details that feel hand-carved rather than digitally constructed. It's a headline face through and through, best used for titles, drop caps, and historical design work where you want something that carries the gravity of medieval typography.
