This family was inspired by the set of fonts used in the end of 1800s by the famous J. H. Geiger, printer in Lahr (Germany), especially these used to print an almanac for the year 1883. It is a Fraktur pattern, with two styles, as a few others incomplete fonts also used for this work were Blackletters from other patterns. Both were used in two size, for titles, subtitles, main text and notes.

This font contains standard ligatures and German historical ligatures (German double s, long s, tz, ch, ck...) and diacritics.

1543 German Deluxe Initials may be used in complement this family.
