ESL Gothic Shavian Font
Author's note
ESL Gothic Shavian by Ethan S. Lamoreaux is a free Shavian script-style display font with a stark, geometric build and measured stroke contrast. The forms mix broad curves, deep hooks, and sharply cut angles.
Alternative arts publishers and language-focused organizations could use it for book covers, posters, and event graphics centered on Shavian writing and alphabet reform. It also suits educational materials and cultural exhibits, where the unfamiliar letterforms can function as both working text and a graphic introduction for audiences interested in alternative writing systems.
