Andron 2 was created by Andreas Stötzner and published by SIAS. Andron 2 consists of 7 designs and household plan alternatives. p > The sister fonts Andron 2 English and Andron 2 Deutsch provide a groundbreaking brand-new possibility to render literature text bodies in an advanced traditional and yet modern-day way of type.

In German typographic history there has actually when been a lasting battle called the Frakturstreit (the blackletter quarrel). It had to do with wether German text should be made up in blackletter or rather in Roman type, a question upon which even Goethe, Schiller and other period stars got grey in time. Nevertheless, blackletter type lived and has simply recently seen an astonishing renaissance.

This is not about a blackletter revisionism or some 'mixture' principle arguably bridging the space in between either worlds. Andron 2 English and Andron 2 Deutsch use a brand-new approach to circumvent that old antagonism. When it comes to the lowercase letters I applied certain features of blackletter type onto the glyphs-- however entirely abandoned the concept of the damaged stroke as such. The outcome is a lowercase alphabet in the classical Andron style which might be considered an attractive option for text in English, German or perhaps other languages. So it's no longer completely about choosing between 'modern' Roman or 'ancient' blackletter only.

Andron 2 English Routine and Andron 2 Deutsch Regular feature the very same lowercase glyphs but differ in the majuscules (Andron 2 English has regular Latin capitals).

++++ 2012 + NEW! +++ In action to its growing appeal we now present five new typefaces as part of the Andron 2 series. Andron 2 English is completed by an Italic and a Bold typeface. Andron 2 Deutsch now includes three intriguing alternative fonts: Italic, Scriptive and Laendlich. Finally-- A brand-new set of wonderful classical typographic accessories becomes part of the Italic and Scriptive typefaces.-- You can also acquire these ornaments individually as "Andron Ornamente".
