JAF Herb is based on sixteenth-century cursive broken scripts and printing types. It features connecting letterforms that are rather tightly spaced. Originally designed by Tim Ahrens in the MA Typeface Design course at the University of Reading, it was further refined and extended in 2010. The idea for JAF Herb was to develop a typeface with the properties of blackletter, without evoking any negative connotations. The design retains the complex, humane character of fraktur without appearing conservative, aggressive or intolerant.
