  For reference, this is what above slogan looks like in Fraktur (the ‘Nazi font’):

      Not true. The slogan in the picture above is smaller.

    Fractur may have been used by that Nazis, but it greatly predates them and I like writing in it sometimes. Though I’ve switched more to a batard or secretary hand recently. It’s really too bad about the association

      Yeah. I know.

      Tannenberg (as in the battle of) is the really nazi version of Fraktur that people should absolutely avoid:

      You’re probably not a fascist, though. It lands differently if you’re not using an immigrant community as the scapegoats and locking them up without due process, breaking your country’s constitution and bringing in to being your own private army who wear masks. So, you do you. Trump, however, the world would have been better off without him.

    What a shame, you people equating this font with its rich legacy going back to 15th century (not only in Germany!) solely with Nazis. They even banned its use in 1941, but nobody seems to care. Would love seeing it getting rehabilitated, but I guess this will never happen.

      You’ve got plausible deniability with what most people think of as Fraktur.

      Tannenberg, a form of Fraktur, absolutely is a nazi font:

      Tannenberg is a Fraktur-family blackletter typeface, developed … by Erich Meyer … in Frankfurt am Main. … It is named after the Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, in which German troops under Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff stopped the advance of Russian troops. Meyer’s design for the typeface was inspired by Nazi ideology. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tannenberg_(typeface)
