Old English Value Pack for instant download available Blackletter typefaces evolved out of Northern Europe's medieval manuscript tradition. Grouped into four sub-families (Textura, Fraktur, Bastarda, and Rotunda), this style of type is characterized by the wide-nibbed pen strokes that are make its letterforms. Often heavy, these strokes leave a “black” color on the page. The German term for Blackletter, gebrochene Schriften, or "broken type", is also a helpful term to remember while [...]

About San Marco™ Cyrillic Roman ...

Linotype usage sample for San Marco™ Cyrillic Roman
Designer: Karlgeorg Hoefer, 1991
San Marco™ Cyrillic Roman belongs to the San Marco™ Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
San Marco™ was one of the featured fonts from the 1990 program "Type before Gutenberg," which included the work of twelve contemporary type designers and represented styles from across the ages. The noted calligrapher and teacher, Karlgeorg Hoefer, designed San Marco. For inspiration, he looked to the Italian rotunda style of blackletter writing from the fifteenth century, and the blackletter rotunda types of Nicolas Jenson. Though we often eulogize Jenson's beautiful early roman typeface, we sometimes forget he actually designed many more blackletter types than roman or greek. He used his fine blackletter types in the history and medicine books he printed in Venice. The San Marco typeface was named for the San Marco cathedral in the center of Venice, and reflects its curvaceous arches and round-vaulted spaces. Its highly stylized characters make the San Marco typeface a good choice for compelling and potent display typography.
