Durendal and Oliphant

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

Font Details

Durendal and Oliphant is a blackletter-inspired display font created by Tup Wanders and licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. Its letterforms are tall, heavy, and highly decorative, combining angular medieval shapes with blocky slab-like construction. The design has strong vertical rhythm, sharp cuts, split interior spaces, and dramatic capitals that give the typeface a dark fantasy and heraldic mood. Readability is strongest at large sizes, where its dense forms and narrow spacing can be clearly seen. It suits posters, game titles, book covers, album artwork, event graphics, labels, and branding that needs a gothic or medieval tone.
