Gaeilge 2 Normal Font
Author's note
Gaeilge 2, from Fios Feasa and an original by Padraig McCarthy, is a free Celtic display font rooted in Gaelic letterforms. Broad curves, sharp wedge-like joins, and changing stroke widths give the lettering an unmistakably manuscript character.
Interlaced borders and knotwork share its angular cuts and sweeping curves, making it fit cultural posters and illustrated book covers. It also suits heritage signage and festival graphics. In those settings, the letters can become part of ornament rather than label it.
