Cloister Black

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Cloister Black is a traditional blackletter face by Dieter Steffmann, rooted in the dense, vertical rhythm of medieval textura scripts. The letterforms are ornate and heavy, with the characteristic diamond-shaped serifs and tight spacing that define the style. A strong pick for headlines, certificates, beer labels, or anything that needs to carry the weight of old-world Gothic authority.
