Horst

by David Rakowski · Website

Horst is a Fraktur blackletter from David Rakowski with ornate, calligraphic letterforms that carry the dense, angular character of medieval German printing. The strokes are richly detailed and unapologetically gothic, giving it a weight and formality that works for headlines, certificates, beer labels, or anything rooted in old-world European aesthetics. Uppercase-focused and best at large sizes where the intricate structure of each letter can come through clearly.
