About Bernard Fraktur Rounded Font Family


The term “Fraktur” comes from the Latin for “broken” or “fractured” as a reference to the fact that the letters are broken into sharp angles by comparison with the more flowing form of Roman letters or Antiqua. In most European countries, Fraktur was being slowly replaced by the Antiqua typefaces created in the 15th and 16th centuries but in Germany both typefaces coexisted until the the end of the war.

Besides creating a "typeface divide" in Europe, this split between Humanistic, Catholic Antiqua and Germanic, Protestant Fraktur was also reflected within the German-speaking region. Literary works in German were most often published in Fraktur, while scientific and learned works were set in Antiqua (Latin) type.

This exactly a century old fraktur typeface was originally created by Lucian Bernhard in 1921 under the name of Extrafette Bernhard-Fraktur and it was used in various posters and newspapers of the time. Lucian Bernhard was a famous graphic designer, type designer, and artist during the first half of the twentieth century. He is well known for helping create the design style known as Plakatstil (better said Poster Style) which used minimalist and flat colored imagery to convey the objects being advertised alongside the brand name.

This unique typeface comes to life after almost a century after its creation as a revival. Created by a master craftsman and released merely two decades before the demise of the Frakturs, this typeface is both beautiful and bold. And is this boldness that makes it unique and memorable.

About Chirila Stefan

I love typography in any and all of its forms. Not only do I love typography, but I also love all aspects of it, including calligraphy and lettering. I also love typography as an art form, like in calligraphy and lettering, but I also love the technical aspects of it too. I find it quite amazing how much a font can change the look of something. Letters themselves are beautiful and when they’re put together to create words, that’s beautiful too.
