Fakir, a blackletter with a holy kiss, is a contemporary interpretation of gone letterforms with origin in blackletters. More precisely, we based the construction on broadnip textura, with lots of broken, edgy, interrupted strokes – try to sit on a nail bed and you’ll know why fakirs like to read just these kind of fonts!

Fakir ships as CFF- and TrueType-flavoured OpenType formats.
