Hunstrüct is my first attempt at designing a contemporary blackletter typeface within Fontstruct. The typeface draws inspiration from the long tradition of German Fraktur styled blackletters. The name Hunstrück is taken from a mountain range in Germany called the Hunsrück. Primarily I was aiming to build a face that would work well as a display type for gig posters and larger headlines but as I reworked the typeface I tried to strike a balance between text and display.
Big thanks goes to djnippa for his hard work in spacing this font properly.

Blackletter with a fat inline.
A mix of traditional blackletter glyph, exploration and grid compromise.

This Fonstruction was created in my first year studying graphic design at UWE. The design brief was to create a typeface using the key word; 'ornate'. I have taken heavy influence from gothic fonts and architecture, looking in particular at religion and religious texts.

My first Font. Please tell me if it's any good since I haven't done any serious Field-testing yet. There might be some problems with certain letters.

This font was based on the word pompous. It was created for a typography brief set in my first year at UWE Bristol. From the word pompous I was inspired to look at black letter fonts and ornate styles of decoration. Any feedback would be appreciated! If you use this font within your work please post a link with your final outcome, as its always nice to see your creation in action!

Alternatives more classics to some glyphs: other "e" is at the "<" glyph, and another "r" is placed at the ">" one too. Hope you like it.

This is my first fontstruction, so please be gentle :)
I made this as an exercise based on my own square-tip pen calligraphy, and it turned out to be some kind of "modern" blackletter.
Please send in any comments/sugestions/critics/whatever

A blackletter/frakture font based on drawings from Albrecht Durer's "De Symmetria". 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.

Frakture was a project for a typography class. The intention was to create a medium blackletter typeface that can be use for display. A lot of work is left to be done.This is a clone

This is based on the Wolfenstein logo. It has lowercase letters only. The uppercase letters are used as ligatures / alts.
