A display typeface lovingly named Bastard after its 15th century inspiration. The letterforms in Bastard are roughly inspired by the French Gothic typeface, Batarde or Bastarda, a blackletter script. The pixelated appearance represents a melding of the deep history of type, with contemporary digital design. This combination of the old with the new, as well as the name of the original blackletter script, inspired the name Bastard.
