Excellentia in excelsis

Excellentia in excelsis font by Borys Liechti is a free handwritten typeface that feels like it was pulled straight from a bold ink quill. The strokes swing from razor-thin to inky swaths, with long, theatrical crossings and a slightly rough edge that keeps it raw and emotional rather than polished or prim. There’s a sense of urgency in the rhythm, as if every word was written in one confident breath.

Using Excellentia in excelsis, your text instantly carries drama and a touch of mystique, making it a natural fit for album covers, book titles, gothic or choral posters, moody invitations, tattoo concepts, and distinctive logo wordmarks. This free font shines when used large so the textured curves and sweeping lines have room to breathe; pair it with a quiet, clean sans serif for body copy to let its expressive character take center stage.
