Author's note

Escheresk, a free optical-illusion display font by Tobias Sommer, channels futuristic lettering through sharp geometry and Escher-like spatial tricks. Its caps are built from folded, interlocking strokes, with hard corners, sliced openings, and shifting planes that make the letters feel architectural rather than simply drawn.

This free font belongs on electronic album covers, experimental posters, game title screens, festival branding, and science-fiction packaging. It works especially well for short headlines and title cards, where the maze-like construction has enough room to unfold and the repeated angular cuts can carry a whole composition.
