Old English Hearts

by Lars Manenschijn · Website

Old English Hearts is a blackletter face from Lars Manenschijn that takes the dense, vertical rhythm of traditional Textura and roughens it up considerably. The letterforms are visibly eroded and textured, giving them a weathered, centuries-old quality that feels more like a rubbing from a crumbling cathedral wall than a clean manuscript page. Built for headlines and display use where you want gothic atmosphere with genuine grit.
