Great font, thanks for the work! Alas, the long s seems missing, a crucial part of every historical blackletter typeface, even of the modern ones in the 20th century. Maybe because of that the form of the ›ß‹ seems a little bit odd, traditionally being a ligature of long s and old style z. There are traditionally a lot more ligatures in blackletter type, e.g. tz, ch etc.
Joachim, thanks for the feedback. I've added a long s, changed the esszet to be a combination of the long s and the lowercase z, and have added a few ligatures. I think I'll add more ligatures periodically, to help make up for the lack of kerning.
This typeface is exquisite. It's succinct: exactly what it appears to be, and nothing less.
The ligatures make the lack of kerning almost irrelevant.
It's both fun and austere.
Hey! Can anyone in this forum help find out what font this is?(dave pictures logo - the font in right corner in the video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEzfFtLjngg
