I still like this :)

It has fontforge sources and may not live up to our current glyph set minimum, but the other blackletter fonts from this font maker are popular and I think it would be worth a few days to bring it up to par.

@davelab6 if you want this font to be onboarded, we could get in contact with Peter Wiegel to host the sources on googlefonts with RFN permission and make it up to date.

davelab6 commented 1 year ago

@RosaWagner sounds great, since you are in Germany, please reach out to him :)

RosaWagner commented 1 year ago

status: website has been taken down, no idea how to contact the designer.

This project has a RFN

davelab6 commented 1 year ago

Let's fork and rename to satisfy the RFN.

RosaWagner commented 1 year ago

Why?

the glyphset is terribly poor
the sources are fontforge from 8 years ago, I can't even open it using fontforge itself
the overall quality is pretty low
it has RFN

This is a several-weeks work effort, not few days, and without the author's consent.

davelab6 commented 1 year ago

Author consent is granted by OFL. Given it's a not a 5 days or less project so moving to 2024, but the design is fun for me and I want it :)
