Author's note

Old London by Typographer Mediengestaltung is a Gothic medieval font with sharp blackletter forms and tall, angular strokes. It uses pointed arches, broken curves, and compact inner cuts that give the letters a cut-from-metal feel without becoming ornate.

Old London suits book covers, historical branding, fantasy titles, certificate headings, and poster lettering that needs a period tone. Its strict shapes and old-world rhythm also make it a strong choice for logos, invitations, and heritage packaging where a vintage, formal accent is needed.
