Sachsenwald Blackletter
By Rosendorf Theo on November 30, 2010
“This typeface was designed by Bertold Wolpe in Germany in the early 1930s and was originally named Bismarck Schrift. It is one of the finest typographic examples of traditional lettre de forme blackletter, a scribal letter form developed well before the time of Gutenberg and the techniques of casting movable, metal printing types.”
More at Michael & Winifred Bixler where Sachsenwald is available in foundry metal in nine sizes.

It’s a beauty.

Too bad it’s only available in metal… But maybe that’s a good thing.

Looks like a pretty straightforward digitization, depending of course on how much variation there is between the different sizes…

Geil.

Somebody should definitely attempt it. It’s a real good looking face.

Not many curves 🙂

I could do it, but there’s a chance it could turn out looking like Comic Sans.
