Paragraph

Typography is the craft of endowing human language with a durable visual form. It shapes how words are read, felt and remembered — from wayfinding on a station platform to the small print of a contract. Good type disappears into reading; great type gives a voice to the text.

Self-host

Google Fonts and Fontsource serve stripped builds — most OpenType features (including the historical ligatures toggles on this page) are removed. Self-hosting the original files is the only way to get the full feature set.

Download the font files from the website and serve them yourself:

Declare with @font-face

@font-face {
  font-family: "UnifrakturMaguntia";
  src: url("/fonts/unifraktur-maguntia.woff2") format("woff2");
  font-display: swap;
}
