Tristram Expanded Italic Font

Tristram Expanded Italic, from Iconian Fonts, is a free Celtic Gothic caps font with a windswept, heraldic feel. The letters lean forward in long, blade-like strokes while broad curves and sharp tapering give the caps a calligraphic rhythm that feels closer to carved insignia than ordinary blackletter.

This free font suits fantasy book covers, metal and folk music logos, game title cards, pub signage, and event posters where a medieval note needs motion rather than heaviness. Use it for short headlines, monograms, or chapter openers too - the extended swashes and slanted forms give brief words a banner-like sweep.
