Gabriele Black Ribbon FG is a free old-school eroded display font based on D. Rakowski's Harting font. Its broad slab-serif letters carry ragged edges and scattered pinholes, giving the type the look of ink stamped from a battered plate.
Designers working on roots music, heritage food, or vintage retail branding will find its rough print character useful for posters, packaging, and shop signage. The damaged contours can become part of an illustrated label or weathered sign, not just text.
Gabriele was the name of his granddaughter. In 1957 Max Grundig, German industrialist, bought the two companies Triumph and Adler and merged them into his office machine label 'Triumph Adler'. Thus, 'Gabriele' became the name of a popular series of typewriters in postwar Germany.
We have chosen this name for our series of typewriter fonts in reminiscence of those machines and all the ladies (called Gabriele or not) that used to type on them from the 1950s to the '80s.
The Ribbon members of the Gabriele are based on the Dave-Rakowski font "Harting". You can see the texture of the ribbon in each letter. There are two lighter companion fonts "Gabriele Light Ribbon FG" and "Gabriele Dark Ribbon FG".
This is a monospaced font. The characters have all the same width - with the exception of the "ellipsis" character ("...") which is of course three spaces wide. Naturally, these fonts have and need no kerning.
