Xiparos Lombard

by Pia Frauss · Website

Xiparos Lombard is an ornate decorative face from Pia Frauss inspired by Lombardic capitals, the elaborately styled letters found in medieval manuscripts and ecclesiastical texts. The letterforms are richly detailed with curling flourishes and stylized strokes that give each character a hand-illuminated quality. Best reserved for headlines, drop caps, and fantasy or historical design work where the intricacy can be appreciated at generous sizes.
