Medieval Sharp font

Extended information

This is another of my old fonts used to inscriptions in stone. I created the MedievalSharp font about 14-15 years ago (like other fonts - when I started doing the inscriptions on stone professionally). It's based on gothic letters. Initially the font contained only capitals and digits. Later I made missing small letters and some basical signs. Now the font is updated (14.05.2011) - I fixed some bugs and added kerning table. Redesigned 30.06.2011 - improved all glyphs, removed unnecessary points, redesigned some glyphs, and added some new (Irish and Welsh).

History

This is another of my old fonts used to make inscriptions on stone. I created
the MedievalSharp font in around 1995 like my other fonts - when I started doing
inscriptions on stone professionally. It's based on gothic letters. Initially
the font contained only capitals and digits, and later I made missing small
fonts and some basical signs. In 2010 I started convert my typeface designs
