Deathspell specimen from Carmel Type Co.

A revival of Carl Albert Fahrenwaldt's Hohenzollern script, expanded across nine weights with support for over 75 Latin-based languages.

About

Based on the Hohenzollern letter style first published in the 1909 Schriften Atlas, this face occupies a distinctive territory between traditional blackletter and art nouveau. Jason Carne extended the original 26-character specimen into a full working family with 380+ glyphs per style, custom diacritics, currency symbols and punctuation across nine weights. The result is a century-old aesthetic made practically usable for contemporary display work.

Classification

Rooted in a revival of Hohenzollern, a transitional letter style bridging blackletter and art nouveau, placing it firmly in the blackletter category with a distinctive transitional subcategory.
