Offenbacher Schwabacher CAT

by Peter Wiegel · Website

Offenbacher Schwabacher CAT is a heavy blackletter face from Peter Wiegel rooted in the Schwabacher tradition, a distinctly German variant of gothic script that predates and differs from the more angular Fraktur styles. The letterforms are bold and rounded compared to typical blackletter, with that characteristic broad, sturdy build that makes Schwabacher feel warmer and more readable than its sharp-cornered cousins. Best at headline sizes for historical documents, beer labels, certificates, or anything that calls for authentic German typographic heritage.
