Author's note

Farquharson font by David Vereschagin is a free gothic typeface with a sharp, rune-like presence. Tall, narrow forms rise like stone pillars, while hooked curves and wedge-shaped cuts give the text a carved, archaic feel. It reads as if it’s been pulled from an old sigil or a weathered banner, yet the spacing stays even enough to keep words legible at a glance.

Using Farquharson, you can inject dramatic character into fantasy book covers, metal band logos, tabletop RPG titles, medieval-themed posters, tattoo-inspired artwork, and moody event flyers. This free font shines when set large and given room to breathe, and it pairs well with a clean geometric sans for supporting text that doesn’t compete with its dark, ritual energy.
