Gorgias is a gothic typeface based on the Schulfraktur, a style traditionally used in schoolbooks in 19th century Germany. This version faithfully respects the historical character of the font, but has been carefully redrawn to adapt to contemporary requirements of legibility and design.

Its name comes from the book in which this typographic model was first found, and its development is not limited to a mere digitization: Gorgias includes an extensive repertoire of glyphs, decorative ornaments and even a complete set of period-inspired initials. These features make it a typographic tool rich in possibilities for editorial compositions with a strong historical or narrative accent.

Available in four styles - Regular, Black, and their respective open versions called Deco - Gorgias offers formal versatility without sacrificing aesthetic coherence. It is an ideal choice for designers seeking to combine the ornamental classicism of the Fraktur tradition with a modern graphic approach, bringing uniqueness and visual weight to any editorial or cultural branding project.
