🗡️ Dangerous and alluring, Ritualist is the latest typeface at Delve Fonts. 🫦

A pangram featuring the typeface Ritualist by Justin Penner.

It is my pleasure to introduce you to the latest typeface at Delve Fonts: Ritualist by the talented designer and developer Justin Penner. This elegant design oc­cupies a sur­repti­tious space be­tween beauty and darkness. Ritualist is al­luring, vaguely ex­otic, and might be suspiciously watch­ing us from across the street.

With its sharp points and sinuous curves, Ritualist is seriously fas­cinating. I love the Black weight because of the higher con­trast and how it can be so heavy while still remaining sophisticated. The family com­prises 18 styles (9 weights plus italics), and has a Variable ver­sion. The expansive set of over 1,000 glyphs in Ritualist makes it usable in hun­dreds of languages worldwide.

Make Ritualist your new secret weapon when the creative brief requires your designs to give vibes of in­trigue, darker desires, and mys­tical en­coun­ters like on book covers and movie posters. The middle range of weights preserve the mood in brief bits of copy ac­company­ing titles, headlines, and subheads.

Enjoy getting to know Ritualist. A word of caution though: You might become ob­sessed with it. Then again, is that really such a bad thing?
