Author's note

Sherwood, is a free Celtic Gothic font with the dark, storybook mood of old pub signs and medieval revival lettering. Its letters lean on broad, swelling strokes, wedge-like joins, and softly carved curves that keep the texture bold rather than fussy.

It fits posters, tavern branding, festival flyers, book covers, and game title cards, where a free font with this much medieval character can carry the theme quickly. Use it for short headlines, cover lines, or monograms when you want the letters to feel rooted in folklore and old craft, not sleek or modern.
