Fette Kanzlei OsF Font

Fette Kanzlei OsF by Dieter Steffmann of Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free blackletter font with the formal sweep and compressed vertical movement of ornamental medieval calligraphy. Fine hairlines, pointed joins, and curling flourishes sharpen the broad dark strokes.

Publishing gives these dramatic shapes a natural setting on historical book covers and chapter openers, and the same pen-made detail suits period posters, heraldic packaging, and formal event invitations. Its courtly ornament and dense vertical forms will appeal most to designers working with medieval fantasy, early European history, traditional guild themes, or theatrical productions rooted in old-world settings and European historical pageantry.
