Bardour

Bardour font by Graham Meade is a free modern gothic typeface that feels carved from black metal—thick strokes, sharp notches, and those blade-like feet that give every word a clenched, medieval bite. It keeps a steady, upright rhythm, so it reads fast even while it looks menacing and ornate.

Using Bardour, you’ll get instant attitude on band logos, album covers, horror titles, fantasy book jackets, game title screens, tattoo-style graphics, craft beer labels, and late-night event flyers. Let Bardour handle the headline, then pair it with a clean sans like Inter or Helvetica for the details, with a touch of extra spacing to help it breathe.
