Blumenkind is inspired by an instance of metal-strip lettering discovered on the Bürgermeister Kornmesser Siedlung residential structure complex in Berlin from the 1960s. The font name, being German for "flower child", intends to catch the positive zeitgeist of that time apparent in the letters.
Blumenkind comes with extensive language support, tight kerning, appealing ligatures, and discreetly differed alternate shapes for a few of the most commonly doubled letters - and all that in three linear weights and one calligraphic weight. Additionally, a complementary variation of the typeface (Blumenkind Alternate) is available, in which the overlapping tittles and accent marks of the initial are changed with more traditional free-floating marks.
This font is dedicated to the wonder of medical science. Thanks to Georg Seifert, Rainer Scheichelbauer, and Michael Wallner for technical aid.
