Help to Identify this blackletter font

Recommended Posts

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.

Yes, it’s “Gotisch”.

And since it’s lettering you won’t find a font with these type of flourishes—they are drawn around the letters. That wouldn’t have worked well with (metal) letters. But you can look for fonts which come with an additional decorated Initial alphabet.
