German Blackletters, 15th c.

by Flight of the Dragon · Website

German Blackletters, 15th c. is a dense, ornate textura face from Flight of the Dragon, closely modeled after the heavy Gothic letterforms used in German manuscripts and early printed books of the 1400s. The strokes are tightly packed and angular, with the characteristic diamond-shaped feet and compressed rhythm that defined the textura style at its peak. Best reserved for display use: headlines, drop caps, certificates, or historically themed work where you want that unmistakable medieval weight on the page.
