LITERATURE— The Modern Prometheus Mary Shelley, 1818
Size
Markus Low’s revival typeface reimagines Basilea with classical Romanesque forms, offering a contemporary aesthetic while maintaining graceful stroke contrast and chisel-like details, ideal for impactful display typography.
Size
Gothic fiction is distinguished from other forms of scary or supernatural stories, such as fairy tales, by the specific theme of the present being haunted by the past. The setting typically includes physical reminders of the past, especially through ruined buildings which stand as proof of a previously thriving world which is decaying in the present. Especially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, characteristic settings include castles, religious buildings like monasteries and convents, and crypts.

Markus Low
Information

A re-imagined inscribed serif typeface based on Basilea, initially made by the designer Markus Low in 1965. The design pays respect to the classical romanesque forms without being overwhelmed by history and steers toward a contemporary aesthetic. Markus Low has a great stroke contrast, producing graceful, fluid lines. The outcome is a modern display serif with subtle chisel-like details best suited for a dramatic impact.

Version 2.0 of the font includes over 600 characters per style and eight weights with matching obliques. Opentype features consist of ten number variations inferiors, superiors, fractions, tabular, lining, case, and old style. Also included are 14 alternative characters, small caps, and language support covering Western, South, and Central Europe.
