@kupfers @type @armstrong @letterror @nicksherman in any society i think there will be those who value traditional aesthetics regardless of political leaning. my grandma goldberg’s documents from her definitely non-nazi german settlement here in ontario around that time were done in blackletter too.

@kupfers @type @armstrong @letterror @nicksherman an interesting counter. though liberals vs nazis/conservatives isn’t really an accurate representation of what was happening culturally at that point as i understand it. for example the more staunchly catholic an area was, the less support for nazis, etc.

@type @armstrong @kupfers @letterror @nicksherman i wonder though, would these typefaces not have been made in germany at this point regardless of whether the nazis came to power or not? they seem like the logical next step in modernization of germanic blackletter.

@levisan yep! it attempted it anyway. seems like i lost a number of followers in the transfer. and i had to manually refollow everyone. and content doesn’t transfer either. but better than nothin!
