Nosferatu specimen from Blaze Type

A monolinear cursive script with one weight, drawn from the lettering on the German intertitle cards of F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent film, with roots in Kurrent and Sütterlin handwriting traditions.

About

Nosferatu takes its cue from the hand-lettered intertitle cards of the 1922 film, rendered in a round-nib style that bridges Kurrent cursive and the Sütterlin script taught in German schools until 1941. A single Light Italic weight is supplemented by three stylistic sets offering per-letter variations, alongside a set of interlaced ligatures. Latin European language support is included across TTF and WOFF formats.

Classification

A slanted monolinear script drawn with a round nib, rooted in the Kurrent and Sütterlin cursive traditions of German handwriting. Its single-weight italic-only presentation and flowing ligatures confirm a script classification.
