Amberwood
Arcane Type Foundry · Alanna Munro · 2023
A tall, slender display typeface by Alanna Munro that merges sans-serif construction with blackletter references, suited to fantasy, packaging and editorial headlines.
About
Released in 2023 and updated to version 1.2 in 2025, Amberwood combines the upright structure of a sans-serif with blackletter-derived curves, giving letterforms an elongated, tree-like vertical rhythm. Five static weights from Extra Light to Bold are available alongside a variable font with a continuous weight axis, and the family includes ligatures and access-all-alternates features. The character set covers Latin Extended, making it practical across a range of European languages despite its decorative intent.
Classification
Amberwood blends sans-serif construction with blackletter letterform references, producing a tall, slender display typeface. Its vertical stress, dramatic cap-height, and stylistic alternates place it firmly in the display category with a blackletter-influenced character.
