Armin-Gotisch

A unique and lesser-known design by Fritz Müller, Armin-Gotisch was released in 1933 by the Schriftguß foundry in Dresden. Only one extra-bold style was produced, indicating that the design was intended for display use. Armin-Gotisch clearly reflects the idea of a modern textura, but is less geometric than other designs in the blackletter category. The capital letters, in particular, retain a more calligraphic character, even preserving a typical fraktur feature: the Elefantenrüssel (“elephant’s trunk”)—a distinctive swash stroke added to the letter.
