Help to Identify this blackletter font

Recommended Posts

Posted

This is a "in use" pic from "Fraktur mon Amour", but there was no specific reference in the book/cd to this specific font. The two 'e' characters seem different, so it might be hand drawn... but the subtle flourishes make for a subtle choice for a caps setting... does anyone know something similar with subtle flourishes? And I suppose a technical question: is this typeface a gotisch due to the ornamentation and/or a uncial? Thanks.

I’m far from an expert about fraktur, but I’m pretty sure this is lettering, not a font, and definitely not uncial.

There are similarly ornate blackletter typefaces, but I leave to others to point to the better ones.
