Clans specimen from Typogama

Michael Parson's 2007 blackletter plays with angular geometry to produce a lively, decorative feel rather than strict historical authenticity.

About

Released in January 2007, Clans uses the sharp, angular forms of the blackletter tradition as a springboard for a more expressive, decorative character. The family is compact at two styles – Regular and Italic – covering ISO Latin-1 and available in OTF and WOFF2 formats. Its angular construction lends itself to display use where visual energy takes precedence over historical fidelity.

Classification

A blackletter typeface that uses angular, geometric forms characteristic of the genre but applies them in a playful, decorative manner rather than a strictly historical revival approach.
