Long years ago, before the evil days had dawned,
King Volsung ruled over all the land which lies between the sea and the country of the Goths
THE DAYS WERE GOLDEN
and the good Frey dropped peace and plenty everywhere, and men went in and out and feared no wrong. King Volsung had a dwelling in the midst of fertile fields and fruitful gardens.
Fairer than any dream was that dwelling. The roof was thatched with gold, and red turrets and towers rose above. The great feast-hall was long and high, and its walls were hung with sun-bright shields; and the door-nails were of silver.
In the middle of the hall stood the pride of the Volsungs,—a tree whose blossoms filled the air with fragrance, and whose green branches, thrusting themselves through the ceiling, covered the roof with fair foliage. It was Odin’s tree, and King Volsung had planted it there with his own hands.

Information
Darker Script is a conceptual super heavy slab display font. Its first design was drafted during Antonio's studies at ECAL, Switzerland. Due to its sheer powerfulness, this heavy slab display font is extremely useful when used to emphasis titles and small piece of text alike. The whole concept of Darker Script is to find a sweet balance between the heaviest glyph possible while retaining enough light in the counter shapes to remain legible. As such, the glyph shapes have been enhanced and drawn with extremely black forms, heavy slabs and subsequently carved with small white &light interventions which make the letters readable in the “darkness”. Due to its super small counter shapes, Darker Script has a very tight spacing. This creates a playful modular system made by the use of combinations of shapes. Due to short ascenders and descenders the font allows the user to make very compact headline and titling with a powerful visual. This font family will make wonder in any layout looking to have a powerful impact, strong visual language through type layout. It will be an amazing asset to use on headlines and titles alike across any mediums looking to be remembered.
