Maximilian

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Maximilian is a heavy blackletter from Dieter Steffmann rooted in the Textura tradition, with dense, upright strokes and ornate detailing that evoke 15th-century German printing. The letterforms are bold and tightly spaced, carrying that unmistakable Gothic gravity that works for headlines, certificates, beer labels, and anything tied to medieval or Old World aesthetics. Steffmann was known for his meticulous digital revivals of historical typefaces, and this one holds true to that reputation.
