Ruritania

by Paul Lloyd · Website

Ruritania is an ornate gothic display face by Paul Lloyd, rendered entirely in outline with intricate decorative detail woven into each letterform. The textura-style construction gives it a distinctly medieval character, recalling illuminated manuscripts and blackletter printing, but the outline treatment keeps it feeling lighter than most heavy gothic faces. Best reserved for headlines, drop caps, and display settings where the elaborate detail has room to read clearly.
