Author's note

Bruce Standard Text by Bill Roach is a free decorative display font with tall, blade-like letters and a theatrical silhouette. Strong changes in stroke width give the forms a carved, slightly unruly look. Curled tips and uneven edges keep the lettering lively.

It could give fantasy publishers a distinctive identity across book covers, posters, and signage. The pointed forms also suit game title cards and music merchandise, especially when artwork draws on folklore, medieval tales, or dark theatrical imagery.
