Schmale Anzeigenschrift

by Dieter Steffmann · Website

Schmale Anzeigenschrift is a bold, condensed Fraktur from Dieter Steffmann, one of the most dedicated digitizers of historical German typefaces. The name translates roughly to "narrow display typeface," and it delivers exactly that: heavy blackletter forms compressed into tight, vertical proportions that carry serious visual density. Built for headlines, posters, and traditional Germanic design contexts where you need the weight and authority of gothic lettering without eating up horizontal space.
