Aeronaut: A Neo-gothic/Blackletter typeface that radiates trendy ease and allows bi-color compositions. Aeronaut has been inspired by Kirchengotische Schrift, a font that can be found in a German font book from 1879 entitled “Vorlegeblätter für Firmenschreiber.” As the name implies it was designed for religious publications.
The glyphs of Aeronaut are derived from Textualis also known as Textura or Gothic Bookhand. Textualis represented the most calligraphic form of blackletter types and is today regarded as quintessentially Gothic.
Aeronaut makes use of decorative elements such as swashes (which we call parachutes) and squiggly arrows in the uppercase which soften the font’s Gothic appearance. Make it as modern as you want it to be.
Aeronaut-Base and Aeronaut-Parachute allow bi-color compositions. Simply place them on top of each other to create playful, two-colored headlines. Aeronaut-Balloon is similar to Aeronaut-Parachute but offers even longer swashes.About the designer:
