In my opinion, the machine more beautiful than the typeface - which is a rare thing for me. <br />Congrats! ;)Nathttp://natslaptaps.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-73137334805492060262013-07-26T16:21:51.709+10:002013-07-26T16:21:51.709+10:00My grandma was born and raised in Austria (to be m...My grandma was born and raised in Austria (to be more precise, born in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy) and she learned German as her mother tounge. Back then they used some pretty gothic script for handwriting. She even showed me how to write those beautiful letters. Unfortunately I was little back then so I don't know where could I have that alphabet and I can't ask her anymore.<br />For this reason, and because these typesets are beautiful, I always love to see when a font like this appears somewhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409132650116465631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-17931345389871868652013-07-26T10:12:48.111+10:002013-07-26T10:12:48.111+10:00Ah, Fraktur.

I can say, though, if I were to come across an Olympia in Fraktur I might just HAVE to purchase it. <br /><br />Congrats on the awesome machine and thanks for sharing the typecast.

Lovely matching ribbon spools, as well! Clearly it would have been used by German spies in Great Britain during the war, whose all caps messages would befuddle any attempt at interpretation. ;)TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004608151032301174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-55155683153625831162013-07-25T23:39:15.796+10:002013-07-25T23:39:15.796+10:00What a fantastic machine, and the typeface is gorg...What a fantastic machine, and the typeface is gorgeous! See, one can learn something new every day visiting your blog; here I thought this Gothic typeface was pretty much standard German in origin, but didn't know about the, shall we say, peculiar order by which it fell in desuse. But I had an inkling it dated from before the War.<br /><br />I don't have much problems reading the lowercase text... the uppercase characters, though, are a tad too ornamental and can really slow me down.
