Designed by David Kerkhoff, Bladesmith is a hand display font family. This typeface has two styles and was published by Hanoded.
I have always had a keen interest in forging; I used to be a silversmith, and I love working with metal.
Some time ago I forged my first axe (a skeggøx or bearded axe), sharpened it and fitted it with a handmade ash handle.
It isn’t perfect, but it is my first ever forged axe and I’m pretty proud of it.
All of this went through my head when I started drawing the glyphs for this font.
And to be honest, I couldn’t find a more suitable name for it! Bladesmith is a handmade font, forged in fire (haha).
It was actually made with an old sharpie. It is a rough and ready font, quite suited for headlines, book covers and posters.
