Author's note

Ikusuteito by Audrius Skersys is a free medieval handwritten font with tall, slightly ragged letters and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. The shapes feel narrow and restless, mixing sharp, blackletter-like turns with brushy irregular edges that keep the font from feeling formal or reconstructed.

It fits poster titles, book covers, game branding, event flyers, and moody packaging where a bit of old-world drama helps set the tone. As a free font, it also works well for short headlines, chapter openers, and logo-style wordmarks, since the letters carry enough texture and character to do the work without much supporting decoration.
