Fraktur Display Font – Vintage Type
About
Introducing CL Antique No.18 - an expressive blackletter font based on historic Fraktur calligraphy from the 1800s. This revived typeface blends the dramatic flourishes of traditional Fraktur with the textures of hand-printed engraving, faithfully digitized from original antique sources.
Part of the Century Library archive, this font is all about bold strokes, sharp spurs, and flowing contrast. You’ll find gothic intensity in every letter, from its compact lowercase set to its swirling, theatrical uppercase alternates - perfect for standout drop caps and ornate typographic statements.
This isn’t a cleaned-up imitation - it’s a preservation. Every crack, sweep, and curve has been kept intact, offering authenticity and historic flair in every glyph.
Great for branding, poster layouts, editorial headlines, tattoo designs, or any project calling for an unapologetically dramatic voice.

- 1 .OTF Font featuring:
