Author's note

Xiphos Expanded Italic, from Iconian Fonts, is a free medieval gothic italic with long blade-like strokes and narrow, flowing curves. The letters feel cut rather than written, with pointed joins, slanted movement, and a slightly ceremonial rhythm that leans toward heraldic fantasy more than everyday blackletter.

This free font fits game logos, book covers, film title cards, poster headings, and chapter openers where you want a chivalric or weapon-forged tone. It also works for monograms and short branding lines, because the sharp diagonals and hooked curves give even a few letters a strong emblematic presence.
