Worn ManuscriptRough

Worn Manuscript Rough, by Phillip Andrade, is a free medieval manuscript display font with the look of inked letters pulled from a worn page. Its heavy, hand-cut forms lean into dark curves, sharp hooks, and chipped edges, so the font feels old-world and slightly weathered rather than neatly calligraphic.

That mood suits book jackets, fantasy titles, event posters, tavern menus, and game branding, where a free font with this much battered character can set the scene quickly. It also works well for short cover lines, title cards, and drop-cap moments, because the letters carry enough texture and movement to hold attention without needing extra ornament.
