Gothic Rotunda Broad: scene applications

The 64px capital name line shows the rounded A and divided O; smaller date and detail lines are explicitly set in Acorn Birch.

Two name lines in the current file

Both rows show the mixed-case names exactly as rendered; the second begins with capital R followed by lowercase o.

In “Mara Ellis” and “Rowan Ellis,” the second character of Rowan is lowercase o, not capital O. The separate capital O construction is visible in the invitation line.

Two name lines in the current file: Name one; Name two
Name one: Mara Ellis (66px) · Name two: Rowan Ellis (60px). Font-file rendering; preview settings, not a customer project.

Name, date and detail roles

Gothic Rotunda Broad sets the 64px capital name line; Acorn Birch sets the 28px date and 20px detail line.

“MARA & ROWAN” shows the rounded A hood and the broad O with an inner upright stroke. The smaller supporting lines use Acorn Birch, giving the ornate name a distinct role rather than setting the full invitation in one file.

Name, date and detail roles: Names; Date; Detail
Names: MARA & ROWAN (64px) · Date: 14 JUNE 2027 (28px) · Detail: Ceremony at six in the evening (20px). Font-file rendering; preview settings, not a customer project.

About

About Gothic Rotunda Broad

Gothic Rotunda Broad's lowercase x reaches 79.6% of the capital height, close to the 79.6% median for decorative fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l rise 3.3% above the capitals, and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 15.2% of the cap height below the baseline. The o is an upright oval, 0.80 times as wide as it is tall, and M is the widest capital, at 1.03 times the width of H. The O stops 9.7% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.2% below the baseline.

The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 19.5% of the cap height.

Its 326 characters include 283 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 231 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.9% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 13.4% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Gothic Rotunda Broad will not line up exactly.
