Ferryman
A nine-weight blackletter family that substitutes unfamiliar historical characters with more legible Antiqua forms to make the genre accessible to contemporary readers.
About
Ferryman modernises the blackletter genre by swapping out characters that would trip up a contemporary audience for adapted Antiqua letterforms or letters drawn from other historical scripts. Nine weights run from Thin to Black, each with a matching italic, giving the family a range suited to both headline work and longer passages. Each style carries 590 glyphs with four figure sets and broad currency support, covering Western, Eastern and Central European languages.
Classification
Ferryman is explicitly described as a blackletter typeface, though it replaces unfamiliar blackletter characters with adapted Antiqua and historical script letterforms to improve legibility for modern readers, placing it in a contemporary or accessible strand of the blackletter tradition.
