In 48 pages packed with calligraphic and typographic examples, Paul Shaw demonstrates how the basic varieties of Blackletter--Textura, Rotunda, Bastarda and Fraktur--emerged from manuscript models. Textura was hand lettered by Hermann Zapf and printed in his book "Feder und Stichel" (Pen and Graver), which displayed his versions of major historical styles. The issue also showed examples of Zapf's "Blackletter" typefaces, such as Gilgengart and Hallmark Textura.
