Blackflag Armada

Blackflag Armada is a tall blackletter display face with sharp ink-trap terminals and a heavy upright stroke.

The capitals stack like banners — vertical, narrow, dense — and the lowercase keeps the same weight without softening the rhythm. Diagonals are clipped, joints are blunt, and the negatives between strokes are kept minimum so a word reads as one solid block rather than a row of letters. The result is a face that wants to be set big, in a single colour, with weight to spare.

It is the kind of lettering you can picture inked across the back of a denim jacket at the front of a pit, or across the cover of a record where the band's name has to read from the other side of the room.

The font is built with advanced OpenType functionality and guaranteed top-notch quality, containing stylistic and contextual alternates, ligatures and more automatic and manual features; all to give you full control and customizability. It has extensive lingual support, covering all Latin-based languages, from North Europa to South Africa, from America to South-East Asia. It contains all characters and symbols you'll ever need, including all punctuation and numbers.
