Olde Stencil

by Anthony Robinson · Website

Olde Stencil by Anthony Robinson takes the dense, vertical rhythm of blackletter textura and cuts it into stencil form, creating an unexpected collision of medieval calligraphy and utilitarian craft. The gothic letterforms keep their ornate weight and sharp diamond strokes, but the stencil breaks add a roughness that pulls it away from manuscript tradition. It's a display face through and through, best used for headlines, posters, or packaging where you want something that reads as both ancient and industrial.
