Algo specimen from Black Foundry

A blackletter-inspired display serif with broken ductus and alternating concave-convex curves, available in three weights including a variable font.

About

Drawing on Gothic calligraphy's angular ductus, it blends broken strokes with differentiated in- and out-strokes to produce a sculptural, unpredictable rhythm at display sizes. The three weights — Light, Regular and Black — are also packaged as a single variable font. It has been used on Fantasy Zombicide game titles, cards and manuals, making its intended territory of fantasy and medieval-themed work concrete.

Classification

Described explicitly as blackletter-inspired, it draws on broken ductus and calligraphic Gothic forms. Its sculptural, angular strokes and antique character place it squarely in the blackletter tradition, deployed as a display face rather than a text setting.
