Mutter Krause Buch Bold Police

Mutter Krause Buch Bold by Peter Wiegel is a free italic serif font with a lively, steeply slanted stance. Its broad capitals and long, swelling curves give the lettering a generous silhouette, with pronounced changes between fine and weighty strokes. Rounded joins and softly flared ends keep the forms warm rather than severe.

In publishing, it can lend historical novels and literary features the look of expressive pen lettering, yet the same sweeping forms also suit restaurant branding and specialty food packaging. The shared thread is a sense of old-fashioned craft, which also makes it useful for theatrical posters and formal invitations.

This font was created for the reconstruction of the 1929 silent film “Mutter Krausens Fahrt ins Glück.” It is used for missing intertitles and was redrawn from the original intertitles.
