Lionheart is a screen and blackletter font released by Canada Type.

Lionheart is the digitization and expansion of Saladin, a neo-gothic typeface developed by Friedrich Poppl, long after he developed himself as one of the best German designers of perpetuity with some of the most "ausgezeichnet" scripts and text deals with to ever come out of Europe. This typeface, though lesser-known among Poppl's other work of arts, was one of the very first in its category to abandon blackletter influence and attempt letter variations based strictly on Roman alphabet shapes. Poppl's idea spawned a whole generation of neo-gothics that can now be found on lots of a film poster or book cover where the design must hint at secrets and dark sides.

Lionheart is successful with the idea of progressive curves causing sharp concave or plano-concave terminals, to effectively construct serious letter kinds that mention historic mystique and mystery.

This font was named after Richard I, King of England for a decade in the late 11th century. He supposedly exchanged numerous gifts of regard with Saladin, although the two kings were on various sides of the Crusades.

Lionheart comes in all popular font style formats, with some alternates placed in accessible cells of the character set.
