Author's note

Eadui by Peter S. Baker is a free Celtic Gothic font with the lively sweep of richly decorated manuscript lettering. Broad, dark strokes narrow abruptly into fine points, giving the letters a pronounced thick-thin pattern. Tall arches, hooked ends, and occasional drops make the silhouette unmistakably medieval.

Historical publishing is its clearest setting, particularly for book covers and chapter openings inspired by Insular manuscripts. The same ornate structure suits folk music posters, heritage event graphics, and craft packaging, where the lettering can become the central mark of a period-minded identity.
