The font draws on the Fraktur typefaces of the past, that were hand-crafted and ornate, and updates them with modern production methods and technologies. This gives Manufraktur a unique and distinctive look, appealing to both the traditional and the modern. Manufraktur successfully combines the best of both worlds, blending the classic blackletter type with the sleekness and precision of modern manufacturing. The font is highly legible, but with a contemporary flair, making it a perfect choice for a wide range of applications. The font also features an impressive character set, with an array of ligatures, alternates and special characters to choose from. This allows users to create a unique and personalized look, while still maintaining the retrofuturistic feel of the font. Overall, Manufraktur is a great example of how the old-fashioned and the modern can be successfully combined. Its unique blend of traditional and modern elements makes it an ideal choice for a wide variety of projects, from logos to signage to advertising.

Free for personal and commercial use. Manufraktur is a free modular display font that combines blackletter type (like Fraktur) with the styles that modern means of production (manufacturing) can provide. The typeface is inspired by retrofuturist style design from the early to mid 20th century, combined with the calligraphic blackletter that was prevalent (especially in Germany) before this period. Email me at [email protected] or private message me your use of the font, I'd love to see it in action! This is my first typeface design, and hopefully one of many to come.
