Bauernschrift Police

Bauernschrift from Bauersche Giesserei is a free medieval display font built from broad, inky strokes and the theatrical swing of hand-cut lettering. Rounded forms swell into sharp beaks and tapered points, and pronounced changes in stroke width keep the letters lively rather than rigid.

Its medieval flavor makes it especially convincing for historical publishing, fantasy game graphics, and illustrated storybooks, where the lettering can suggest an old printed page or a painted inn sign. Its weight and flourish also suit festival posters and themed packaging. It is strongest when a title needs the rustic dignity of a carved village sign.
