Fette Steinschrift

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Fette Steinschrift is an ultra-heavy condensed grotesque from Dieter Steffmann, reviving a style of bold German display lettering that was common in early 20th-century advertising and signage. The letterforms are massive and tightly packed, with virtually no breathing room between thick strokes, giving it an imposing, almost monumental density. Strictly a headline face, built for posters, banners, and display contexts where sheer typographic weight is the whole point.
