About

Kandlestick: A Closer Look

Miguel Goz

Handwriting

Open Source

Kandlestick font is a handwriting typeface blending blackletter gothic structure with candlelit medieval personality. Each character displays gothic forms with flickering character suggesting medieval manuscripts and candlelit writing. This blackletter gothic style suits medieval content, gothic branding, and designs requiring typography with candlelit historical atmosphere. The candlestick reference emphasizes medieval illumination. For designers creating medieval content, Kandlestick delivers appropriate gothic warmth. Complements parchment and gold palettes.

Kandlestick was created by Miguel Goz. The typeface shows dedication to typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, Kandlestick features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for pull quotes and editorial accent text.

Kandlestick is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency for both digital and print applications, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
