Dotted Ink
Decorative handwritten display face built from dotted, circular calligraphic forms
DottedInk is a single-style decorative display typeface by Iuliia Mazur (Softulka), sold on Gumroad by DesignFamilyMarket. It takes medieval correspondence and illuminated manuscripts as its source and rebuilds them from circular structures and dotted geometry, so the letterforms read as calligraphy rendered by a plotter. The download is 1 OTF, 1 TTF, 1 WOFF webfont, and a PDF specimen. It is a headline face for branding, book covers, editorial, invitations, and fantasy work — not a text face.
Use this only for display type — one or two words in a hero, a logotype, a book cover — and pair it with a neutral grotesque or a workhorse serif for everything else. The WOFF ships with the purchase, but the base $17 tier is a Desktop License, so confirm which license the buyer holds before you @font-face it on a production site, and budget the +$82 App License for anything embedded in a shipped app. Its dotted strokes destroy legibility below roughly 32px and contrast poorly, so never put it in body copy, buttons, or form labels.
Why it is here. A well-executed instance of a narrow genre — plotter-and-manuscript hybrid lettering — that is hard to fake with effects on an existing face.
