Dark Angel FONT Download

Dark Angel was designed by Michael Doret and published by Alphabet Soup. Dark Angel contains 3 styles and family package options.  

Selected as one of "Our Favorite Typefaces of 2013" by Typographica.org, Dark Angel is the first completely new take in decades on the traditional "blackletter" font style. It began its journey towards the light years ago when this style was born as a sketch for a new logo for the California Angels baseball team (renamed shortly thereafter the Anaheim Angels). The Angels logo never happened, but that sketch has risen from the dead and become the basis for this brand new font design-and was also the source for the name. It's kind of blackletter in feel, but as a display font it's so much more. It is far more legible than most "Old English" or "Gothic Script" styles, and incorporates many features never before seen in them, such as swashes, tails and a plethora of ligatures.

Dark Angel can be purchased in its regular solid form, or as Dark Angel Underlight-a handtooled font. If these two fonts are purchased together, the Family package will contain a third font-Dark Angel Highlight. With this font layered over the basic font, you can achieve two–color typesetting when the highlight and the base font are assigned two different colors.

Dark Angel has enough language support to make the builders of Babel envious-its 1,163 glyphs can be used to set copy in 59 different languages. From A to Z: Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Bemba, Bosnian, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Filipino, Finnish, French, Galician, Ganda, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Kalaallisut, Kamba, Kikuyu, Kinyarwanda, Lithuanian, Luo, Malagasy, Malay, Maltese, Manx, Morisyen, North Ndebele, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Nyankole, Oromo, Polish, Portuguese, Romansh, Sango, Shona, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Swiss German, Turkish, Welsh, and last (but not least) Zulu.

PLEASE NOTE: Dark Angel is a cross-platform font which depends to some extent on certain advanced OpenType features, therefore it can be used to its full potential only with programs that support those features.

ADDITIONALLY: When setting Dark Angel one should ALWAYS select the "Standard Ligatures' and "Contextual Alternates" buttons in your OpenType palette. Please see the "Read–Me–First!" file in the Gallery section.
