    Looking for a specific Fraktur Typeface

    How do the original scans look like? This looks more like calligraphy without any fonts. You are right, it will not fit most fonts in the Fraktur category. It’s better to look at blackletter fonts categorized as “Gotisch” and “Kanzlei”. The closest match I can think of is Renaissance-Fraktur: https://letterlibrary.org/typeface/renaissance-fraktur-llt991-r991/

  4. Hello Guys, i scanned some Documents from 1912 from a very small german printing house with a very unique Fraktur Typeface. I tried to find a remotely similar Typeface to get some inspiration for the missing Glyphs since i miss quite some glyphs. Interesting is to me that the lines on the baseline don't turn down like on almost all other Fraktur Typefaces but turn up and inward. Especially the stem-design on the W is quite unique, i could not find one typeface that has the same structure. If you have ideas where to look, please hit me up. If you think some of the Glyphs should be left out or "corrected" when digitizing in Glyphs3, please tell me. i think its not completely consistent.

    Parcival-Antiqua

    The Parcival type family, designed by Herbert Thannhaeuser, was released between 1930 and 1932 by Schelter & Giesecke. The capital Eszett uses an interesting design approach. The design is based on the lowercase Eszett, but the upper bowl is increased significantly to create uppercase proportions.

    Epilog

    The typefaces shown on the previous pages were released between 1905 and 1930. After that, letterpress type foundries seemingly stopped adding the character to their fonts. What was originally only introduced as an interims solution in 1903 became the new standard: replacing the ß with SS or SZ in uppercase-only typesetting. But after a spelling reform in 1996, which gave the letter ß a clearer phonetical purpose, the discussion to introduce a capital Eszett started again. The letter ẞ was added to the Unicode standard (as U+1E9E) in 2008 and became an official part of the German orthography in 2017.
