Olde English

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Olde English is a blackletter face by Dieter Steffmann rooted in the dense, vertical rhythm of traditional textura scripts. The letterforms are ornate and tightly spaced, carrying the weight and formality of medieval manuscript lettering. It works best in headlines, certificates, logos, and anywhere that calls for historic gravitas, though legibility drops fast at small sizes.
