Information
Impura is the result of a deep exploration into the Blackletter style and its diverse sub-genres.
Blackletters have always fascinated us with their striking visual impact, rich historical roots, and broad range of sub-genres, each carrying distinctive stylistic nuances.
Impura was designed to embody this versatility. Through a series of OpenType features, this typeface allows users to navigate between a wide array of stylistic sets and alternate forms inspired by iconic Blackletter sub-genres. This enables the typeface to adopt different personalities, from the flowing, humanistic curves of Fraktur to the rigid, angular forms of Textura, as well as other sets influenced by lesser-known sub-genres and modern reinterpretations.
Additionally, Impura offers an extensive range of weights — a rarity for this genre — which adds even greater versatility.
The result is a unique typeface that blends sharp angles, geometric precision, and smooth curves, creating a distinctive aesthetic characterized by its brooding elegance, unorthodox charm and raw energy.
This multi-faceted approach gives Impura the ability to straddle historical authenticity and progressive creativity. Whether you're looking to evoke the medieval roots of Blackletter calligraphy or explore its more imaginative, unconventional interpretations, Impura provides a dynamic toolkit for typographic expression.
