Sagres

Sagres is a blackletter typeface drawn with heavy verticals and diamond-tipped joins from the Gothic tradition.

The capitals are tall and densely structured — closer to medieval manuscripts than to any modern serif — while the lowercase carries the broken curves and pointed terminals of the Fraktur lineage. Letters sit tight against one another, and a line of text reads as a dark, textured column rather than a row of separated words. The italic adds a slight forward slope; the bold pushes the strokes heavier still, suited to short, weighty headlines.

It belongs on a masthead, a record cover, a tattoo flash sheet — anywhere the page needs to carry presence, history, and a measured touch of menace.

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.
