Fraktur

Fraktur is a distinctive type of blackletter typeface that originated in the 16th century in Germany. Characterized by its ornate and angular shapes, it was commonly used for printing books, religious texts, and official documents in German-speaking regions. Fraktur combines elegance with readability, featuring sharp, elaborate strokes. While it was widely used until the 20th century, its popularity declined as more modern typefaces emerged. Today, Fraktur is often associated with traditional German culture and is used in decorative contexts, such as logos or certificates. It reflects a rich history of typography and is valued for its artistic style.
