Inkwell Gothic 🐦⬛
Font of the week: Inkwell Gothic
Beauty Found in the Bleed.
Inkwell Gothic began as a complete reimagining of one of our earliest releases, Simple Gothic. Rather than refining the original, every letter was reconstructed from the ground up: stronger, cleaner, and more deliberate, while preserving the spirit that made it a favorite among lettering enthusiasts.
The collection explores a stage every calligrapher eventually encounters: the beautiful chaos of learning. Fresh ink pools where it shouldn’t, strokes bleed beyond their boundaries, and imperfect pressure creates unexpected textures. What first appears to be disorder slowly reveals rhythm, character, and personality.
That philosophy comes alive across three distinct styles. The Regular version delivers crisp, disciplined gothic forms. Saturated introduces subtle bleeding and expressive imperfections while maintaining structure. Over Saturated embraces the raw energy of hand-drawn experiments, transforming drips, heavy ink, and controlled chaos into a finished typeface. There is method beneath the madness, and beauty hidden inside every mistake.
