German Typography

German typography refers to the distinctive style and techniques used in German printed and digital text, influenced by historical and cultural factors. It often features blackletter scripts, such as Fraktur, historically used in German books, and emphasizes clarity and readability. Modern German typography balances traditional serif and sans-serif fonts, with attention to letter spacing, line height, and layout to enhance legibility. Special characters, like the ß (eszett), are integral to the language’s typographic identity. Overall, German typography combines precision, tradition, and functionality to communicate effectively across various media.
