Heretic is a font family of three font files – Serif, Ornate, and EndCap, plus a bonus Ornaments font file. Together they make for a bold blackletter-inspired type system built for contrast, character, and impact. Heretic is rooted in traditional gothic forms and reimagined through a modern streetwear and tattoo lens. This collection gives you the flexibility to design with both clarity and expression.
The Serif style delivers a cleaner, more structured version of blackletter letterforms for better readability, while the Ornate version really shines as a display font for t-shirt and tattoo-inspired designs, coffee, whiskey, and craft branding, album art, posters, etc. The Drop Cap style pushes even further—featuring tall, highly decorative characters designed to act as statement initials or finishing accents.
To complete the system, Heretic also includes a Bonus Ornament Font filled with custom flourishes, dividers, and framing elements—perfect for building logos, badges, and layouts with a cohesive look. Also included is a bonus font and eps file of matching swashes and ornaments. Capital letters will display them. Lower case letters will display a mirror image of the capital letter versions.
NOTE: The Heretic fonts include alternate characters inside the font itself. To access the alternate characters, select the character you want to change, right click the character and a menu of the alternates will show below that character. Then simply double click the character you want to use instead. Alternatively, you can use the glyphs panel in whatever application you are using to view all of the characters in the file.
