DampfPlatz

by Paul Lloyd · Website

DampfPlatz is a Fraktur-style blackletter from Paul Lloyd rendered entirely in outline, which gives the ornate Gothic letterforms an unexpectedly airy, decorative quality. The medieval structure is all there, with its sharp broken strokes and dense vertical rhythm, but the outlined treatment lightens things up and adds a vintage poster feel. Best at large sizes for headlines, labels, or branding where you want the weight of blackletter tradition without the heaviness.
