A single-weight Fraktur revival drawn from Justus Erich Walbaum's 1800 typeface, produced at the Polygraphmash bureau as part of the Encyclopedia-4 family in 1987.
About
Designed by Vladimir Yefimov at the Polygraphmash type design bureau in 1987, Fraktura takes Walbaum Fraktur as its direct source, inheriting the relative elegance and regularity that distinguished Walbaum's approach to the broken-script tradition. It was developed as part of the broader Encyclopedia-4 type family. Available in a single Regular weight, it is suited to display, poster and editorial contexts where a formal blackletter texture is required.
Classification
A blackletter typeface in the Fraktur tradition, directly derived from Walbaum Fraktur (1800). The Fraktur subclass is characterised by its broken, angular letterforms with distinctive pointed arches and bifurcated ascenders.
