About Georgian Mkhedruli
Mkhedruli is the rounded, caseless hand of medieval Georgia, copied in iron-gall ink across the tanned vellum of Gospel books such as the Gelati and Adishi Gospels. This system rebuilds that scribal leaf: a darkened parchment page, generous margins, and a single column of round Georgian letterforms.
Color comes from the workshop palette — gold-leaf ochre, ultramarine, vermilion, and a muted manuscript green — reserved for illuminated headpieces and grapevine interlace. Nothing is glossy or neon; every accent stays at the saturation a brush and ground pigment could reach.
