Schwabacher Fraktur Download

Blackletter has many variations Fraktur, Rotunda and Schwabacher to name a few. Since Blackletter has a wide family of scripts I will narrow it down and help you grasp the basics of a script known as ‘ Textura Quadrata’.
Fraktur, which didn’t make its debut until the 16th century is the fourth and final core style of Blackletter. In an effort to incite a centralized typographic normality, it was developed under the orders of a German emperor who was frustrated with the difficult-to-read hands throughout Europe.
Schwabacher typesetting was the most common typeface in Germany, until it was replaced by Fraktur from the mid 16th century onwards.

definition - Schwabacher

The 'blackletter typeface' Gotik, Schwabacher, and Fraktur The terms 'Gotik' and 'Fraktur' include a wide variety of fonts that are quite similar to each other.

History

The Schwabacher was a blackletter typeface that evolved from textualis under the influence of Humanist type design in Italy. It was nearer to handwriting than the textualis style. In the 16th century, it was displaced by fraktur as the most-used German typeface from about 1530. Thereafter it was in use as a secondary typeface in a similar way to italic.^[1] It was still used occasionally until the mid 20th century.

Circular letter by Martin Bormann about the Normalschrifterlass.

Fraktur was abandoned, although widely-used before, by the Nazis with the Normalschrifterlass of 3 January 1941, where it is called Schwabacher Judenlettern 'Jew-letters of Schwabach':^[2] Ipo previous year question paper.

On behalf of the Führer I notify for common attention that:
Regarding and calling the so called gothic typeface as a German typeface is wrong. In fact, the gothic typeface consists of Jew-letters from Schwabach. Like they later gained control of the newspapers, the Jews living in Germany had seized control over the printing shops at introduction of the printing press, so that the Schwabacher Jew-letters were heavily introduced in Germany.
Today the Führer decided in a meeting with Reichsleiter Amann and book printing shop owner Adolf Müller, that the Antiqua typeface is to be called the normal typeface in future. Step by step all printing products have to be changed to this normal typeface. As soon as this is possible for school books, in schools only the normal typeface will be taught.
Authorities will refrain from using the Schwabacher Jew-letters in future; certificates of appointment, road signs and similar will only be produced in normal typeface in future. On behalf of the Führer, Mr. Amann will first change those papers and magazines to normal typeface, that are already spread abroad or are wanted to be.
Signed Martin Bormann

Samples

(The German sentence in the figures reads: 'Beispiel Alte Schwabacher [Example of old Schwabacher]: Victor jagt zwölf Boxkämpfer quer über den Sylter Deich'. This is a nonsense sentence meaning 'Victor chases twelve boxers across the great dam of Sylt', but contains all 26 letters of the alphabet plus the German umlauts and is thus an example of a pangram.)
