Author's note

Kelmscott Roman NF Bold by Nick Curtis of Nick's Fonts is a free Arts and Crafts display font with broad slab serifs and dense rounded strokes. Its hand-cut irregularity appears in the gently uneven curves, swelling joins, and blunt teardrop-shaped ends that recall late Victorian book printing.

Craft breweries and heritage bookshops could adopt it for labels and packaging. The carved curves and dark silhouette also suit publishing covers, event posters, and folk-inspired merchandise, where the recurring rounded ends can echo woodcut borders and floral ornament.
