Breitkopf fraktur is a Blackletter Font designed by Jonathon Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf. Mostly known for a system of printing musical notes. After mastering this music publishing technique, Breitkopf designed the beautiful, bold, and unique font named after himself, Breitkopf Fraktur. This was a successful attempt at breaking free from the elaborately shaped typefaces of the time, and returning back to the calligraphic roots that Fraktur fonts are originally known for. Being a part of the Blackletter font group, Breitkopf Fraktur, and fonts alike, were used in Europe quite commonly for everyday use for hundreds of years. This was due to the fact that for years Blackletter fonts were used by the Nazi Party as the official government typeface of Germany. After this, Blackletter fonts were the ruling typeface of the English-speaking world for centuries. Today, the Blackletter font group is still used by part of the Spanish-speaking population. Fraktur fonts are often still used today in well-known labels and advertisements, a popular one being newspaper New York Times.
