FetteThannhaeuser Police

Fette Thannhaeuser by Herbert Thannhaeuser of Typographer Mediengestaltung is a free medieval blackletter font with a broad, forceful silhouette. Heavy curved strokes meet sharp wedges and clipped points, producing letters that look cut rather than drawn. The irregular angles keep the forms lively and unruly.

It is most convincing on historical event posters, where its compact mass and old-world shapes can set a theatrical scene. Fantasy game graphics, brewery packaging, and heavy metal merchandise also suit its dark, carved appearance.
