Fritzchen, a typeface project born from a non-linear process, was initially aimed at developing a contemporary blackletter-inspired typeface. The design process embraced the fluidity of exploration, resulting in a textface that blends historical elements into a typeface suitable for the contemporary world. The typeface captures the essence of the past while adapting to the demands of the present. It is a typeface that smells like an antique photo album, feels warm like the hug of an old friend, and looks like a distant memory.
