Peter Schlemihl

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Peter Schlemihl is an ornate Fraktur blackletter from Dieter Steffmann, one of the most dedicated revivers of historical German typefaces in the free font space. The letterforms are richly detailed with the characteristic broken strokes and elaborate capitals of traditional Fraktur script, carrying a weight of medieval craftsmanship in every curve. Best reserved for headlines, certificates, and decorative contexts where the dense, gothic texture can read clearly and set the right tone.
