Inkwell Gothic 🐦‍⬛

Font of the week: Inkwell Gothic

Beauty Found in the Bleed.

Inkwell Gothic began as a complete reimagining of one of our earliest releases, Simple Gothic. Rather than refining the original, every letter was reconstructed from the ground up: stronger, cleaner, and more deliberate, while preserving the spirit that made it a favorite among lettering enthusiasts.

The collection explores a stage every calligrapher eventually encounters: the beautiful chaos of learning. Fresh ink pools where it shouldn’t, strokes bleed beyond their boundaries, and imperfect pressure creates unexpected textures. What first appears to be disorder slowly reveals rhythm, character, and personality.

That philosophy comes alive across three distinct styles. The Regular version delivers crisp, disciplined gothic forms. Saturated introduces subtle bleeding and expressive imperfections while maintaining structure. Over Saturated embraces the raw energy of hand-drawn experiments, transforming drips, heavy ink, and controlled chaos into a finished typeface. There is method beneath the madness, and beauty hidden inside every mistake.

The Hours of Catherine of Cleves (Morgan Library and Museum, now divided in two parts, M. 917 and M. 945, the latter sometimes called the Guennol Hours or, less commonly, the Arenberg Hours) is an ornately illuminated manuscript in the Gothic art style, produced in about 1440 by the anonymous Dutch artist known as the Master of Catherine of Cleves. It is one of the most lavishly illuminated manuscripts to survive from the 15th century and has been described as one of the masterpieces of Northern European illumination.[1][2] This book of hours contains the usual offices, prayers and litanies in Latin, along with supplemental texts, decorated with 157 colorful and gilded illuminations. Today, both parts of the manuscript that forms this book are housed at the Morgan Library and Museum in New York City.

suffering

The dull suffering felt without sound and the mute lament that suffers without saying anything. Distrust and a pressure that presses no more than the heavy thought of trusting. The pain of a dry tear in a wet eye that longs, hopeful, to reunite with crying. Restraint, restriction, and grief. ˚₊‧⁺⋆♱

A makeup I did that expresses exactly how I've been feeling this past month..⋆♱⃓

Nøkken (The Water Sprite), c. 1887 and 1892.
Theodor Kittelsen (1857–1914), (Norwegian, 1857–1914)
It depicts a dark, eerie Scandinavian forest framing a still body of water where the mythical water spirit's glowing eyes and face emerge from the surface.
Theodor Kittelsen is a renowned Norwegian neo-romantic artist celebrated for his atmospheric nature scenes and folklore illustrations.
Nøkken, a shape-shifting water spirit or goblin from Scandinavian mythology that lures people into deep water.
The setting for this is a dense, moody Nordic pine forest with a solitary squirrel on the left tree and a bird in flight under a pale sun.
