Author's note

Yllia, by Benoit Sjoholm, is a free distorted blackletter display font that recasts medieval lettering in stark, angular strokes. Sharp bends, clipped corners, and compact joins give the letters a digital, almost rune-like tension without losing their Gothic character.

Its rigid rhythm creates an ominous, coded effect across music posters and game title screens. Use this free font for festival identities, dark fantasy book covers, apparel graphics, or atmospheric signage where its collision of old-world form and pixel-era geometry can shape the entire visual direction.
