Xenippa Font

Xenippa by Pia Frauss is a free Gothic calligraphic font with a dark, medieval swing and long, curling strokes that keep the letters in motion. Its pointed forms and hooked finishes feel hand-cut rather than rigid, while the big opening flourish and descending sweep give the word shapes a theatrical, old-manuscript rhythm.

This free font fits naturally in fantasy book covers, metal posters, tavern menus, event flyers, and game title cards where you want an old-world voice without going full historical replica. It also works well for short headlines and monogram-like initials, because the sweeping entries and tails give even a few letters enough drama to carry a layout.
