Author's note

Aneirin font by Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free gothic Celtic typeface that looks like it’s been lifted from an illuminated manuscript. Its tall, narrow letters have curled terminals and flowing strokes that feel both mystical and sharply carved, like inked calligraphy on worn parchment. The rhythm is tight and vertical, giving headlines a chant-like presence that instantly suggests legend, folklore, and old-world ritual.

Using Aneirin, this free font shines on fantasy book covers, medieval-themed posters, folk music albums, game titles, pub signage, and event branding for renaissance fairs or pagan festivals. It works best in larger sizes where the ornate curves can breathe, paired with a clean sans serif for body text to keep layouts readable while preserving that enchanted, gothic mood.
