Colchester

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Colchester is a heavy blackletter face from Dieter Steffmann that stays true to the dense, vertical rhythm of traditional textura script. The letterforms are ornate and tightly packed, with the kind of angular, diamond-tipped strokes you'd find in medieval manuscripts and early printed books. Best reserved for headlines, titles, and decorative use where the gothic density reads as intentional rather than overwhelming.
