Designers Note
Fruktur is a bold, hand-drawn display font with a playful yet edgy character. Its irregular lines and exaggerated strokes give it a raw, urban feel, making it ideal for posters, logos, album covers, and other creative projects that demand attention. Inspired by graffiti and street art aesthetics, Fruktur blends rebellion with readability, offering a distinctive look that stands out in both digital and print media.
Fruktur initially appears to be a playful and powerful black letter type with a warm friendly feeling. However its construction is closer to that of an upright italic. Fruktur offers some of the feeling of a black letter but with higher legibility and greater utility than is typical of black letter type. Fruktur will be most useful from medium to large sizes.
