Old English Value Pack

Five absolutely necessary blackletter typefaces for only US$ 117.00.

Many blackletter typefaces are often grouped under the "Old English" category. Linotype has selected its top five favorites from these unusually popular selections, and bundled them together into an Old English Value Pack. For the sensational price of just US$ 117.00, you’ll receive the classic typefaces Mirage and Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch (designed by Morris Fuller Benton and Rudolf Koch), together with newer interpretations of medieval history – David Quay’s Blackmoor, Karlgeorg Hoefer’s Notre Dame, and Herbert Maring’s Clairvaux.

Special goodie: Clairvaux, Notre Dame and Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch contain the DFR layout (Deutsche Fraktur) which include historic ligatures and a long s.


These typefaces are included in the Old English Value Pack:

Blackmoor™, the work of British designer David Quay, is based on an old English letter style, it evokes a mediaeval character. Its rough, distressed features make it ideal for a variety of applications, from serious historical publications to horror movies and comics.

Clairvaux™ DFR was designed by German artist Herbert Maring. The font is based on early Gothic typefaces. The clever design of Clairvaux resulted in highly stylized yet legible characters.

Mariage was designed by American designer Morris Fuller Benton in 1901. This font is a typical blackletter typeface. The inherent, complex beauty of Mariage´s forms make this font a excellent choice for certificates, awards, and newsletter mastheads.

Notre Dame™ DFR was designed by German designer Karlgeorg Hoefer, who was inspired by the structure of forms once used mainly for liturgical purposes. Digital techniques made it possible to design anything which should have a late Gothic feel.

German designer Rudolf Koch created Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch™ DFR in 1925. He based his work on the Gothic forms of the 14th century and his broken letter font is often seen in advertisements. Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch is recommended for use in headlines and short texts with a point size of 12 or larger.
