Unger Fraktur

unknown

Unger Fraktur was not designed by Gerard Unger, but rather by Johann Friedrich Unger in 1793. Unger Fraktur is an attempt at a Didone-style Fraktur. It is a quite successful attempt, too. Many of the “superfluous” decorative elements of fraktur letters have been removed, without sacrificing feel or legibility.

A digital version of the design is available from Berthold.
