Ehmcke Federfraktur

by Peter Wiegel · Website

Ehmcke Federfraktur is a historical German Fraktur blackletter rooted in the pen-written calligraphic tradition, named after Fritz Helmut Ehmcke and revived by Peter Wiegel. The broad-nib construction delivers high stroke contrast and richly organic details at stroke joints and terminals that keep it feeling hand-drawn rather than mechanical. It carries the weight of centuries of German typographic heritage and reads with unmistakable authority at large sizes.
