ABOUT THIS FONT
===============
This font was created by me, Doug Peters, of Symbiotic Design. There was already a couple fonts called "Gothica", but none called "Gothica Medieval", hence the name. The original work was inspired by blackletter fonts, especially Horde by Typeting. But there were issues with that font I felt needed to be addressed and corrected, making the resulting font with a very different look that I believe is more consistent with Medieval Gothic manuscript lettering.
Although limited with a basic character set, this version is realeased to the general public so that they can make of it their vision.

There is also a professional version of this font available commercially once I find a platform to sell it. It is called "Gothica Medieval Pro", which features an expanded character set including multilingual support, more puncuation, more symbols, and a nice assortment of dingbats for use in a website UI.
