Okay typophiles - question:

I'm looking for a black letter font with plenty of fleurishes/ligatures. Any suggestions?

yeah - I know, but do you have a favorite?



I'll narrow the question and limit it to traktur & textura black letter

I like Fraktur, but thats pretty much the only one I have, except Old English

...I'm trying to avoid wading through a ton of fonts (i.e. work) by finding people with good taste in type list their preference...

traktur = fraktur



there's a lot of cariation in the fraktur subfamily, though. For instance, Fette Fraktur is my preferred blackletter fraktur, but I'm looking for something with more fleurishes.

cariation = variation



my typing sucks...

I like that - but I think I'm looking for something with a heavier stroke



mightymoodymut:

wow - dieter steffmann has a TON of great gotische fonts. Incredible. I think I'll look through some of those.
