Wobegone
Typogama · Michael Parson · 2024
A three-weight textura blackletter by Michael Parson, released in 2024, offering decorative swash letters and OpenType alternates for branding and titling work.
About
Wobegone draws on the textura blackletter tradition across three weights – Regular, Bold and Black – each priced individually or as a full family. The character set is broad, covering ISO Latin 1 through 4, and OpenType features include ligatures, alternates and elaborate swash letters. It is aimed squarely at display and short-passage use rather than sustained reading.
Classification
Explicitly textura-inspired blackletter, characterised by the compressed, angular letterforms and dense vertical strokes typical of the textura quadrata tradition. Intended for display and titling use rather than extended text.
