Reunion for separated twins!
Fraktur and Stencil type finally found each other
Fraktur and Stencil type finally found each other
4th semester typography project with our great calligraphy and typography teacher Giovanni de Faccio!
At the beginning of the semester I was inspired by stencil and graffiti art around me. At the same time I was fascinated by the lovely book "Fraktur mon amour" by Judith Schalansky. Then I realised that there is that special connection between those old and heavy blackletters and those sprayed pieces of streetart on viennese walls: They have the disconnection in common!
So I developed Fraktil. Yes, I know, Fraktil is not perfect, not even really finished (is a font ever finished?), but it helped me to unterstand typography a lot, lot more!
The brochure below is the Fraktil type specimen and development documentation.
