Fraktur and Blackletter use by Nazis
[edit]It is important to point out that the Nazis first embraced use of Fraktur and Blackletter faces for their perceived Germanic quality. The Nazis largely rejected the sans-serif/neo-grotesks faces associated with German modernism, the Bauhaus, and avant garde culture that Nazi propagandists labeled cultural Bolshevism and degenerate. The Nazis adopted Fraktur/Blackletter faces for propaganda, forms for their bureauacracy, and press releases. Problems with legibility outside of nations with Germanic languages and discovery that Blackletter, particularly the Frakturs, had been influenced by Jewish contribution led to them being banned, and the earlier avoidance of grotesks being reversed.

Changed a section heading
[edit]A section here was called "Confusion with blackletter", a heading that itself displays confused terminology. If we're going to be picky, there's no point in being sloppy about that. TooManyFingers (talk) 16:08, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
