Bernhard-Fraktur in use

Designed by Lucian Bernhard. Three styles – regular, bold (shown), and bold condensed – were released by Flinsch in 1912. An extrafett was added in 1921 by Bauer, who had acquired Flinsch in 1916 [Reichardt 2011]. The regular and bold styles were adapted for the Intertype [Wetzig 1926–40].

Gerhard Helzel’s digital revival (2003–2010) spans five fonts; the mager in two optical sizes based on the 12p and the 24p, plus all other weights based on the 20p cut each. Bernhard Blackletter (RMU, 2016) is a single-style interpretation of the extrafett.
