Decadentia

by Manfred Klein · Website

Decadentia is an ornate Fraktur display face from Manfred Klein, dripping with swash flourishes and dense decorative detail that pulls from the tradition of elaborate blackletter manuscripts. The letterforms are gothic at their core but pushed toward extravagance, with exaggerated strokes and curlicues that give it a distinctly theatrical, almost decadent quality. Best reserved for headlines, titles, and short text where the intricacy can be appreciated rather than lost.
