OUGD404: Type Journal




This old style blackletter type fits comfortably in the block category. It’s pointed stem ends and decorative strokes mirror medieval styled type produced by scribes as well as the original Gutenberg type, this gives it a strong historical character. It’s overly decorative and not particularly legible or readable, but adds to the history of the product and solidifies it’s past.
