Federzug-Antiqua

About

Federzug-Antiqua is a distinctive calligraphic serif typeface that draws its character from traditional pen-and-ink lettering techniques. The name "Federzug" (meaning "pen stroke" in German) perfectly captures its essence - letterforms that exhibit the natural rhythm and flow of skilled penmanship. This typeface features pronounced stroke contrast reminiscent of broad-nib pen writing, with thick downstrokes and delicate hairlines creating dramatic textural variation. The serifs are organic and slightly irregular, maintaining the handcrafted quality that distinguishes it from more mechanically precise serif designs, while the overall character spacing and proportions suggest careful attention to readability despite its expressive nature.
