TC Cat

Proudly Introducing BlackCat, an authentically Vintage Blackletter Font. Its design is based on a specimen from the 1800s that oozed that classic Blackletter style that is (I’m glad to see) making a glorious comeback!

Quick Overview

• Multilingual Glyph Set (Latin 1)
• OTF and TTF formats Included
• Great for Display (Fonts, Headlines, Apparel - Big text stuff)

This project was a true joy to work on. As some of you may know, the other half of my design business is one that I run alongside my wife (Abbie) and includes collecting, restoring, and repurposing vintage illustrations.

After getting my hands on some wonderful vintage typography specimens, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make them into working typefaces. While the original prints contained very few glyphs and required plenty of custom work, I’ve tried to stay as true to the design as possible while creating the additional letters, numbers, and symbols.

I hope you enjoy BlackCat as much as I did making it!

Thanks for looking, Tom
