The forms are designed to be compact, filling the space available, and so that they don't require kerning or letter-spacing. The display might mimic the lettering found in the Gutenberg bible, which would have employed a similar grid based type style to create a type similar to what might be found in medieval calligraphy.A%20blackletter%2Ffrakture%20font%20based%20on%20drawings%20from%20Albrecht%20Durer%27s%20%22De%20Symmetria%22.%20The%20forms%20are%20designed%20to%20be%20compact%2C%20filling%20the%20space%20available%2C%20and%20so%20that%20they%20don%27t%20require%20kerning%20or%20letter-spacing.%20The%20display%20might%20mimic%20the%20lettering%20found%20in%20the%20Gutenberg%20bible%2C%20which%20would%20have%20employed%20a%20similar%20grid%20based%20type%20style%20to%20create%20a%20type%20similar%20to%20what%20might%20be%20found%20in%20medieval%20calligraphy.

As you might guess from the quality of the uppercase, I started with lowercase and had quite some trouble finishing the uppercase... And I know there are (obviously) always the connection strokes peaking out at the end any word, but funnily this imperfect look has started to grow on me during the fontstructing.

I also know there are still lots and lots of inconsistencies and letters that badly need a rework, but I thought the constructive criticism of my fellow fonstructors might be more helpful and efficient at improving this... So I'm grateful for any suggestions!:)
Oh, and yes: The kerning is very painful at times, but I can't see how I can improve that under the constraints of the script and the character forms.

Especially the design of the caps was hard; sooo many possibilities! However, i'm proud to present you my first real blackletter font :)   I would like to add some more glyphs to the "more latin" set, but the size seems to be close to the download limit. It's downloadable yet, but i had to erase some glyphs...

ps:
there's an alternate "a" on "@", 
and some decorative stuff on "#" and "*".
