Home › Descantª
Descant is an Old English blackletter face with dense, gothic strokes and ornate medieval detailing. The vertical strokes pack tightly together, broken diamonds and hairline spurs crown the capitals, and the dark, woven texture recalls illuminated manuscripts and old printing. It carries weight and ceremony in every line.
Descant works well for certificate headings, beer labels, tattoo lettering, and band logos that want a dark, traditional character. It also suits formal diplomas and heritage signage. Descant is free to download as a TrueType file, and you can preview it with your own text to see how the gothic strokes build up across a heading.
