Anayanka by Neale Davidson is a free Gothic display font with a strange, ceremonial cast. Its broad black shapes are cut by abrupt tapers, hooked turns, and narrow joins. Uneven proportions make the lettering look like an eccentric manuscript alphabet rather than formal blackletter.
Its dark medieval character suits fantasy games and historical entertainment set in unfamiliar worlds. The hooked silhouettes give music posters and book covers the look of coded inscriptions. It is strongest in fantasy publishing, where the letters become part of the imagined culture.

The font combines Gaelic script with Cyrillic and ancient Latin lettering. Its English-language mapping roughly corresponds to the correct phonetics of each letter. It includes bold and italic versions.
