DTL Fleischmann is a revival of the eccentric Baroque typefaces cut by Johann Michael Fleischmann in the 18th century. The digital DTL Fleischman was created by Erhard Kaiser, a German designer for the Dutch Type Library. The robust typeface consists of text and display cuts making the font incredibly flexible for editorial design. The font features attention-getting ornate serifs and a large selection of ligatures that gives it’s characteristic form. In 2007 I selected Fleischmann to use exclusively in the redesign of American Craft magazine. Two years later I still enjoy working with Fleischmann as much I did in the first issues. It’s beautifully crafted and it can handle all of the typographical detailing that the magazine needs. What else can one ask for?
Love the lowecase g. And the 7. Oh, and that fa ligature with the umlaut. Gorgeous.
