MorrisRomanAlternate-Black

Morris Roman Alternate Black font by Dieter Steffmann of Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free gothic medieval typeface that channels the weight and drama of illuminated manuscripts without becoming unreadable. Heavy strokes, flared forms, and those slightly exaggerated curves give it a storybook richness, while the Morris Roman family structure keeps the rhythm steady and legible. It feels dense and inky, like text pressed deep into parchment with a well-used printing press.

Using Morris Roman Alternate Black, you can give instant gravitas to fantasy book covers, tabletop RPG materials, renaissance fair posters, escape room branding, themed restaurant menus, or medieval festival signage. This free font shines at larger sizes where its dark, ornate texture can really breathe. For a clean contrast, pair it with a simple humanist sans for body copy and let Morris Roman Alternate Black handle titles, chapter names, and logos.
