KochAltschriftKursiv Font

KochAltschriftKursiv by Rudolf Koch of Gebr. Klingspor is a free calligraphic italic with pronounced thick-thin strokes and a crisp, angular finish. Long rising strokes meet broad sweeping curves, and the sharp joins keep the writing lively. The letters look elegant but not polished smooth.

Literary and heritage themes make it well suited to book covers, poetry collections, invitations, and artisan packaging, where the slant and sweeping movement suggest personal penmanship. On packaging, the lettering can become part of an illustrated seal or maker's mark rather than serving only as a label.
