Hi first time here (General d.) I was wondering if there is a site where I could find old style fonts from 1930s Germany. (Antiqua Style) I wanted to recreate a knight's cross award document from NSDAP Germany. Now i saw that a site was selling replicas but they were really expensive. On their documents they used a font that perfectly resembles the real one that was used on original documents from that time. Here is a picture of the font: http://www.ritterkreuzurkunden.com/images/RKU-banner1.png So they must have used a font they downloaded from somewhere. I remembered a .pdf called Schriftmappe where I found a lot of Gothic style fonts that weren't on MyFonts or other sites. So is there a site where I could find more fonts like that and where I could download them for my little recreation project. Tnx. -BtB

Have a look here and see if what you need is there https://web.archive.org/web/20081004032552/http://moorstation.org:80/typoasis/designers/steffmann/index.htm


Some of Steffmann's fonts are here https://www.dafont.com/dieter-steffmann.d253


You are probably referring to this PDF http://www.fraktur.biz/Schriftmappe.pdf

None of these really resemble the one on the Knight's cross documents.
Schriftmappe is a great source of fonts but I couldn't find any that resemble the document fonts.

I'm not near a computer this morning -- I'm headed out to a NAMI 5k

When next I am -- I'll take a look for you. It reminds me of something similar that I think the name is Don X Cross has done in the past

Ok. Thanks a ton H. Here are a few more examples: http://www.ritterkreuzurkunden.com/images/WP_20141107_001%20%28Medium%29.jpg

C'est de la calligraphie numériser.

En effet, ça l'est. Mais d'où vient la calligraphie en premier lieu?

It is not a metal typeface.

Morning Baki,

Okay, I'm back on the computer and in need of doing my work for the day. But first - the closest font available that I can find for you (and we all know, this is not the font) would be: Rob Cooper's Farango

Ok, looks nice! Tnx.
