Amilias did so, and, lo! he fell in two halves; for the sword had cut sheer through the vaunted war-coat, and cleft in twain the great body incased within.

The master, Mimer, sheathed his sword, and walked slowly down the hillside to the plain.

I see you, I know you're here. Behind every tree. Behind every stone. Your love shields me.

Be kind — so they said. As we are but shooting stars in the wind. A breath of life, a whisper in the mist. O for so long have I wanted for this.

There will be text & There will be words. But there won't be any sound. Only the ones you wish for: those you hear in your heart. Those you feel in your soul.

The rain dries. The tree grows. Deep roots — in the marsh. I hide in plain sight the secret knowledge to our heart. For you to be a witness to me up until the end.

Long & Dark days are ahead. Fear not. We are together, hands in hands, until the end of the world. The walls may crack and the roofs may tear away. We are here to stay.

I see you. There is still your smell in the house. I hear you calling me "my son" after a long trip in the woods. I remember every moment. Would you be proud now? Would you turn your face away?

Information

Oroban, the witchweed.

Oroban is a type family inspired by the different kind of flowers and plants belonging to the Orobanchaceae family. Thus the different style’s names, Masuria, Hermonthica & Elegans. These are the parasitic plants which bring woe to whole farming cultures. Beautifully shaped in their wide variety of colours and forms. The Oroban font-family takes a deep fall into this inspiring variety of plants to extract some of their very details and mix them into letter-forms.
The shapes are balanced with various kind of weight pressed along the ductus: linking the glyphs design to a historical hand-style writing.
