I have always had a keen interest in forging; I used to be a silversmith, and I love working with metal. Some time ago I forged my first axe (a skeggøx or bearded axe), sharpened it and fitted it with a handmade ash handle. It isn't perfect, but it is my first ever forged axe and I'm pretty proud of it. All of this went through my head when I started drawing the glyphs for this font. And to be honest, I couldn't find a more suitable name for it!

Bladesmith is a handmade font, forged in fire (haha). It was actually made with an old sharpie. It is a rough and ready font, quite suited for headlines, book covers and posters.
