    I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they’re still heavily associated with the Nazis.

    I think blackletter is a family of gothic fonts, with fraktur being one type of blackletter.

    Fraktur(aka Nazi font):

    Picture above:

    This being said, I’d argue the properly Nazi one is Tannenberg(which commemorates the German victory over Russia):

    IRC Tannenberg is also a form of Fraktur (which is a form of blackletter) and obviously they’re all Gothic scripts.

    IRC the nazis abandoned them at one point, because they’re not always legible.

    e: I’ve just had an interesting trip down wikipedia lane, so take all this with a pinch of salt.

      I’m going to take a stab in the dark and say this typeface is going to be whatever the closest one is that’s available in Canva Free

      Thank you. I forgot the most important part: blackletter refers to a family of Gothic fonts. Fraktur, the font shown in the photo, is one variant.

        And then Tannenberg, the really nazi one that commemorates a German victory over Russia, is a variant of Fraktur in the same family.

        I’ve edited my comment above, because I had to go on wikipedia to check.
