History
Arcana Manuscript is a calligraphic exploration of the Victorian gothic aesthetic that created literary classics such as Frankenstein and Dracula. Designer Gabriel Martínez Meave first wrote with a fountain pen, then digitized the results to create this unique typeface. Arcana takes its name from the ultimate secrets that lie behind astrology, alchemy, and magic. In gothic novels, such secrets were written in forbidden books, hidden in the dark and grotesque sanctums of magicians or mad scientists (possibly the ancestors of today's computer scientists and type designers).
Menu Names And Style Linking
The fonts in this family have no style links: none are a bold or italic
variant of another.
You should note that selecting a style option such
as bold or italic with any of these faces will either have no effect,
or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font,
which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.
