Dragon – Typeface
Description
A typeface crafted for fantasy art books, tailored for use in headlines and short texts that yearn for texture and a touch of magic. It marries an old-world charm with modern proportions, ensuring enhanced usability and legibility. An old feel, yet not outdated. Timeless, like dragons’ legends. Inspired partly by Arrighi’s “Operina,” the journey began with transforming a calligraphic reference into a contemporary font. Drawing from the rich history of typography, the design incorporates a fusion of styles: Roman typeface elegance and proportions intertwined with the intricate details of Blackletter and Uncial scripts. Seeking harmony in the words and paragraphs, rather than focusing on each letter as an individual design, particular attention has been paid to tension points and broken stems, enriching the proposed texture on the page. Designed by Ringo R. Seeber with the mentorship of Hannes Famira and Just van Rossum.
