Malice Stencil is a calligraphic blackletter-inspired typeface with a modern approach. The undulating stems and soft rounded forms gives the stencil a soft touch while still able to throw down in the mosh pits. You can let Malice Clean hold its own while Malice Rough does the heavy-lifting on grungy band posters, halloween decor or occult book covers.

Features include: Custom emojis, discretionary ligatures, old style numerals, case features, alternate forms and support for up to different 200 languages.

This project initially started in 2018. The type of project that you pick up and set down multiple times. Well, I'm glad I did because the end product was well worth the wait. Feel free to read about the process.
