NewlynMissionary alludes to a previous era, and is most comparable to the vernacular lettering of the Celtic manuscripts of the Dark Ages, a period after the Romans left Britain. In this sense this typeface is symptomatic of my desire to reside in a neo-dark age, the New Dark Ages. A time when, as at the time of the decline of the Roman Empire, originalities and impacts are being applied to the roman alphabet, when a great worldwide power is breaking down thanks to its own ungovernable complexity. When an empire has "barbarians" pressing at its borders in eagerness to seize a wealth that has been denied them, however of which they have actually gotten the exact same channels of interaction. (The very same TV soaps and ads are received daily by both suburban areas and farmers in remote rural villages in the Third World. In this sense all mass media communication is ambiguous.)
