Oseberg Capitals

by Vladimir Nikolic · Website

Oseberg Capitals encloses each letter in a decorative square tile bordered with interlaced knotwork, evoking the carved aesthetic of Viking-age art and illuminated medieval manuscripts. The letters themselves are high-contrast Roman serif capitals, creating a rich tension between classical typography and Norse ornament. Best used large, for titles, chapter headings, monograms, or any context that calls for historical gravitas.
