New Insulaic

Summary

New Insulaic is a modern, geometric sans-serif typeface that uses letter forms inspired by so-called “insular” script: the writing developed by medieval scribes in England, Ireland, and Wales in the seventh century. Most fonts based on insular writing are designed to reflect that time period: they feature calligraphic wide-nib strokes and heavy angular serifs; they often include decorative flourishes popular with scribes at the time. New Insulaic takes a different approach by blending medieval insular lettering with a modern, even futuristic, design aesthetic.

New Insulaic combines the rounded shapes of medieval works like the Book of Kells with the clean lines and geometric design of modern and futuristic fonts. It is an artistic font that can be used in any context where design and aesthetics matter. However, its lettering suggests another layer of meaning as well. New Insulaic is a font that imagines an alternate history, and a world where typography evolved directly from the island writing culture of northern Europe. This makes it a perfect choice to enrich your fantasy and science fiction worldbuilding.
