Old Scribe

by Galdino Otten · Website

Old Scribe is a rough, scratchy handwritten face from Galdino Otten that looks like it was scratched into parchment with a worn nib, each letter carrying the uneven weight and weathered texture of centuries-old manuscript writing. The distressed, irregular letterforms lean medieval and dark, making it a strong pick for headlines, book covers, and anything that needs to feel ancient and hand-done. Legibility holds up at larger sizes, but the real appeal is in the grit.
