Author's note

Vizantum by Nikola Kovanovic is a free Gothic caps font with a distinctly Byzantine flavor. The letters feel ceremonial and architectural, mixing tall verticals with sharp, calligraphic turns and rounded arches that give the font a solemn, icon-like presence rather than a rough medieval one.

It fits naturally in book covers, cultural posters, historical branding, music packaging, and title cards where a sacred or imperial mood helps set the tone. As a free font, it also suits monograms and short headline work, because the caps carry enough ornament and contrast to make even a few letters feel deliberate.
