Blackletter Modern


My type, Blackletter Modern is described just in the name. Blackletter being the Gothic type done by a broad nib pen, which is what i was inspired by in a tuscan church. I took many of the ideas for the composition of letters such as 'g' and 'n' and went with my gut from there on what i felt a modern type of gothic broad nib pen would look like. As some have commented, yes it does look a bit like the 'harry potter font' namely because it too is a gothic typeface, and coincidentally i just visited where she wrote her books in scotland ;)
