Designers Note
Neuer Welt Schmerz is a bold, expressive blackletter font inspired by traditional German typography. Its dramatic strokes and intricate details make it ideal for headlines, logos, and artistic designs seeking a powerful, vintage aesthetic. Perfect for projects with a dark, romantic, or gothic theme, this font adds a striking visual impact. Freely available for personal and commercial use, it combines historical charm with modern versatility.
About 7 years ago, I released a beautiful (imho) Art Deco inspired font called Weltschmerz. Weltschmerz was an all-caps font and I always wanted to do a lower case version as well. But as things so often go in life, I never found the time and forgot about it. Some time ago, I ‘rediscovered’ my good old Weltschmerz font and remembered that I wanted to create a lower case version.
Without further ado: here is Neuer Weltschmerz (‘New Weltschmerz’). I redid the whole font, better kerning, better spacing, better looks… and with a proper lower case!
I did keep the original handwritten look intact - because, well, it IS hand made!
