“A treatise by the Dominican friar-writer Marcus von Weida on the Brotherhood of the Holy Rosary” is a Medieval book printed in 1515 by Melchior Lotter in Leipzig. Its text was illustrated by hand-colored engravings of religious and liturgical themes and beautiful initials. Those initials are the inspiration for this amazing blackletter font: Lotter!
Lotter was the last name of a family of German printers, intimately connected with the Reformation. An innovation by the elder Lotter was his use of Roman types for Latin, reserving the Gothic types for German.
Lotter font family has two styles: Dropcap and Regular. It’s all you need to precisely imitate medieval-style text. Use Drop cap style as a decorative element at the beginning of a paragraph or section, and the other parts of the paragraph should be in Regular style for obtaining the typical Middle-Ages effect!
