Hello!

Does anyone happen to recognise the font used in the following clip:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dATBkXWs6Ds

It's the same font as used on the packaging of some make-believe German
ham, namely Castle Wood Black Forest Ham.

Many thanks.

The font belongs to a script family called Black Letter. It seems to be
a form of Fraktur, possibly Lutherische Fraktur, Breitkopf Fraktur,
Fraktur BT, Wittenberger Fraktur BT, or one of the other Fraktur fonts
shown at <http://bowfinprintworks.com/Script03Pg1.html>.

Are taxes too high in the U.S.? Check the bar graph

I did a bit of search and found that the particular font used by the
graphic artist in the Photoshop example video is Fette UNZ Fraktur, which
is available via http://www.fontspace.com/category/german

The font on the packaging of the Castle Wood product is slightly different
however and is probably not available anywhere. In any case, Fette UNZ
Fraktur is exactly the one I was looking for. Some of the fonts at
bowfinprintworks.com look great, which will come handy for something else.

Many thanks for the link!
