8-Bit Blackletter evokes the feel of a traditional newspaper masthead, which often feature bold, blackletter typefaces to signify heritage and trust. By combining this classic and more analoge style with the pixelated digital aesthetic, this creates a nostaligc yet contemporary feel, blending the historical weight of print journalistm with the blocky, simplified look of digital type. This makes it perfect for design referancing both past and present.

Inspired by the idea of how newspapers are printed to protect us, I've created my first fontstruction for the start of my UWE graphic design course. I drew the letters by hand using black ink and a quill that sort of created this idea of the ink that is used in newspapers. Therefore, creating this abstract font design.   

I am planning on using this as the script for infernal in my DND campaign, it is roughly based on Latin, Hebrew, and Cyrillic giving it what I consider a very orderly looking alphabet. I purposefully excluded letters that would not be commonly used or can be created easily. This version is designed to look as though it had been printed for the Infernal gazette or another official document that had been typed rather than written.
