Blackletter Fonts

I found a few blackletter fonts online for free and also using the existing Lucida Blackletter which is pre-installed with the CS4 suite. So here they are...

Cloister Black by Dieter Steffmann_www.steffmann.de_


Bertholdr Mainzer Franktur by Peter Wiegel_www.peter-wiegel.de


There seems to be a problem with the lowercase 's' in this type, as it looks exactly like the lowercase 'f'.

Proclamate (light) by Paul Lloyd_moorstation.org/typeoasis/designers/lloyd/


This font looks very much like Bertholdr, but there is a small case 's' here unlike Bertholdr.

Lucida Blackletter by Charles Bigelow and Kris Holmes

Goeschen Fraktur by Peter Wiegel


Each blackletter font has its own beauty with the slender curves and gorgeous serifs.... it's just the matter of experimenting with them now...
