Antiqua/blackletter mix

Wolf Böse

Hope this is in the right category

I was wondering what examples there are at attempts of blending antiqua with blackletter.
I started working on a sans textface with a hint of blackletter, and am curious for some other references.

does anyone know some examples?

Thanks in advance…

This book shows examples of a broad range: http://www.amazon.com/Fraktur-Mon-Amour-Judith-Schalansky/product-reviews/156898801X/ref=pd_sim_14_cr_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=06YE50QJ9FH2ANG0W7PB

I suppose my Octant and Traction could qualify.

Have a look at Luecke’s work:

Some time ago I put together a list of “modern” blackletter typefaces. You can find it here.

thanks alot guys. alot of the examples are quiet old timy still,
and not precisely what i was hoping for. (sans)

i came across rostrot by georg seifert,
which is closer to the ideas that im wondering about.

benedikt, thanks for that list, ill dig through it later.

You might use the term "Roman" rather than "Antiqua" as that will be understood by folks outside the German-speaking regions. 

Wolf Böse

good point, will keep that in mind…

Not a sans serif, but GT Sectra contains hints of blackletter calligraphy, in a subtle and I think very successful way. But obviously I’m biased.



See http://ilovetypography.com/2015/01/13/making-fonts-gt-sectra/ for the longer story of GT Sectra’s development.

Bois, my graduation project at type&media, was based on that idea: http://ybaggar.com/bois/

@ybaggar Where is Bois now!?

@Stephen Coles I occasionaly sell licenses per requests, but I consider it an educational project and an attempt only.
I think Sectra is a more contemporary (and therefore successful, I agree with Thierry) attempt. If I was to release Bois one day, I would have to find something that makes it more interesting for today too.
I still like the serifs very much though.

Christian Thalmann

That Bois looks fantastic.

Thanks a lot @Christian Thalmann!
