Dequindre

Available for license on

Dequindre is a monolinear typeface drawn as if grade school handwriting practice sheets came in a blackletter variety.

Dropping the thin/thick calligraphic contrast of traditional blackletter glyph construction and instead sticking with the bare skeleton of the typeface, Dequindre manages to bring forth a delicate, contemporary aesthetic that plays off of a core blackletter form.

Overall portrayed with a softer, more friendly take on the angular, severe forms of 16th-century blackletter style, and through pulling some of the curvier, smoother stroke qualities of Antiqua while still maintaining the overall construction and flourish of Fraktur, Dequindre sits in a unique space in the pantheon of blackletter typefaces.

Designed under guidance from Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen of Post Typography.
