Germanica is a blackletter typeface, specifically textura quadrata, inspired by the type used by Fust and Schöffer, pioneering German printers, in 1457. However, its capital letters draw inspiration from the first Gutenberg type (circa 1455), known for its neatness and consistency. The font's creation was driven by the need for a suitable typeface to transcribe manuscript examples, leading to the inclusion of various ligatures and scribal abbreviations.
