Vtg Stencil Germany No. 101
Blackletter Stencils from Bavaria
Vtg Stencil Germany No. 101 is modeled after historic stencil plates from Bavaria.
These stencils are a unique find.
The unevenness of the single plates suggests that they were not produced industrially.
The design itself, a blackletter chancery, is a romantic reprise of a style that was common in German writing offices from the 14th to the 16th century.
The flourishes stylistically quote the Baroque period.
A talented mind, perhaps around 1890, transformed the textura shapes into a modular stencil system.
Overall, this decorative blackletter doesn't look like a stencil design. Maybe it was originally used by a sign painter, and all the typical stencil bridges would have been painted over in the final work.
If you're looking for a decorative blackletter font with a unique touch and a romantic feel, you will love Germany No. 101.
