This family was created inspired from the early Fraktur style font used circa 1530 by Jacob Otther, printer in Strasbourg (Alsace-France)for German langage printed books. Although it is an early Fraktur pattern, it is easy to see the characteristic differences with the Schwabacher style (look at our “1538 Schwabacher”),like in the small d,o or y… and the capitals (look at the H, K, T…)
Frequently, Schwabacher and Fraktur were used together in the same book
