A contemporary blackletter typeface for a contemporary sign: This is Duc de Berry, a bastarda created by Gottfried Pott in 1990 as part of Linotype’s Type before Gutenberg series. Duc de Berry could serve as a display companion to the similar but sturdier Lucida Blackletter by Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow (1992). Neither the long ſ nor the ch ligature that are included in the font have been used here.

There is also an older sign, with a clumsy painted Fraktur. For some reason, there is only one ſ, although all three s’s should be long, according to traditional rules.
