XiparosLombard

Xiparos Lombard by Pia Frauss is a free medieval Lombardic display font with curling hooks, teardrop-like endings, and a loose handwritten swing. The letters feel ceremonial rather than orderly, mixing broad sweeping strokes with sharp little flicks so the font reads like something lifted from a manuscript heading rather than a neat modern title line.

It fits book covers, folk or fantasy posters, event invitations, title cards, and short logo-style wordmarks where a free font can bring an old-world, scribal tone without turning rigid. Use it for brief headlines, initials, or monogram-like marks, because those long curves and hooked details want space to show their character.
