Rudelsberg Font

Rudelsberg by Dieter Steffmann of Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free medieval display font built from broad, swelling strokes and sharply flared ends. Its letters move between full curves and narrow joins. These changes in width produce a hand-cut, calligraphic silhouette.

Packaging is a convincing home for this lettering, especially on labels for ales, preserves, or old-world specialty goods. In publishing, it can bring a storybook quality to fantasy covers and historical features, and its theatrical contours also suit event posters. The recurring wedge-shaped tips connect the font most clearly with European medieval tales, traditional folk legends, and period-inspired adventure games.
