Author's note

Xanax by Apostrophic Laboratories is a free distorted blackletter display font with a rowdy, cut-up medieval vibe. The letters lean on sharp beaks, chipped angles, and thick shadowed slabs, so the font feels part old manuscript, part street-logo lettering rather than a careful revival.

It suits poster titles, album covers, skate graphics, club flyers, and zine mastheads where the jagged silhouette does most of the talking. As a free font, Xanax also makes sense for short branding hits, cover lines, or title cards, especially when you want blackletter energy without a solemn, traditional mood.
