Designed with a flat brush and inspired by the modern fraktur from Rudolf Koch, Berliner Fraktur is composed by broken strokes, adding a handmade feeling to this geometric kind of calligraphy.
The font contains some interesting alternates and ligatures that make this type more real.
The aim was to create a font that doesn't look like a font.
A slightly regularized digital version of a late Baroque Fraktur type, probably from the beginning of the 18th century, issued by the Norstedts type foundry in Stockholm in 56 point size as “Sju petit fraktur nr 2”.
This digital font is designed for rather large sizes, at least 30 points.
The font includes accented letters for all Western languages, as well as a long s and the usual Fraktur ligatures, e.g. ch, ck, st, tz.
