I believe it’s Blackletter.

What’s interesting is the Nazi regime first heavily used Gothic scripts, particularly Fraktur, claiming these scripts were an element of Aryan heritage, but later banned Fraktur in 1941, claiming it was ‘Judenlettern’ (Jew letters). This was of course utter shite and is now understood to primarily be a pretense to switch to more easily read, modern fonts.

I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they’re still heavily associated with the Nazis.

It’s Fraktur. Exact same font the nazis used. See for yourself: Image Image

  Thank you. I forgot the most important part: blackletter refers to a family of Gothic fonts. Fraktur, the font shown in the photo, is one variant.

    And then Tannenberg, the really nazi one that commemorates a German victory over Russia, is a variant of Fraktur in the same family.
    
    I’ve edited my comment above, because I had to go on wikipedia to check.

  I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say this typeface is going to be whatever the closest one is that’s available in Canva Free

The swastika is a cool looking symbol too. Unfortunately they ruined that as well.
