Uechi Gothic

by David Rakowski · Website

Uechi Gothic is an ornate blackletter face by David Rakowski that draws from the dense, vertical rhythm of medieval Textura scripts. The letterforms are elaborately constructed with heavy strokes and intricate detailing, giving it a dark, ceremonial weight that works for headlines, titles, and anywhere you want to invoke the gravity of illuminated manuscripts or old European typography. Strictly a display face, since the dense ornamentation demands generous sizing to stay legible.
