Sigurd
Medieval mythology encoded in letterforms
Sigurd is a type family designed by Matthieu Salvaggio and Léon Hugues, released in 2021 via Blaze Type. It draws formal inspiration from Norse mythology—specifically the Nibelungen Saga—referencing swords, feudal armour, and medieval lettering. The family includes extensive alternate characters and swashes, and supports a wide range of Latin European languages across both display and text layout uses.
