About the product
Ehmcke Federfraktur is a broad-nib German blackletter with a copybook pedigree. Strong verticals, reciprocating curves, and crisp pen-rotation corners give it a steady, upright visual that reads cleanly at display sizes. Calligraphic warmth pairs with metal-type sharpness, ensuring ceremonial yet controlled headlines.
It works ideally for newspaper nameplates, historical nonfiction jackets, museum and archive signage, certificates and diplomas, folk-metal and goth logotypes, medieval-fair posters, heritage packaging, editorial drop caps, and vintage-map titling.
Features and technical notes: uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, punctuation and symbols, multilingual support, and ligatures. The design follows lettering from a 1941 German writing booklet, written with a broad fountain pen to demonstrate the lineage of blackletter in metal type.
