Author's note

British Museum, 14th c. font by Flight of the Dragon is a free gothic celtic typeface that looks like it’s been lifted straight from an illuminated manuscript. Tall, narrow letters curl into delicate hooks and flourishes, giving each word a slightly mysterious, old-world shimmer. The strokes feel inky and hand-drawn, as if traced with a quill on rough parchment, which gives your titles a distinctly historical, storybook presence.

Using British Museum, 14th c. font, you can instantly steep projects in medieval atmosphere-think fantasy book covers, tabletop RPG rulebooks, museum-themed posters, escape-room graphics, period event invitations, and game logos. This free font shines at larger sizes where its intricate curves can breathe, while a simple modern sans serif makes a strong companion for body text beneath its ornate headings.
