Fruktur is a lively serif design inspired by structures found in italic and blackletter shapes. Fruktur is unrepentantly perky and cheerful. Although superfcially a display design, it also works in text far better than you might imagine.
Viktoriya Grabowska is a type designer.
Eben Sorkin designs and art directs typefaces. He works with Sorkin Type Co. and Darden Studio.
According to Hyperglot made by Rosetta Type, Fruktur has base support for 395 of the 459 languages of Latin script. These include:
