I came across this font recently and it struck me as the perfect visual example of what I'm trying to achieve by reinterpreting identity theory from as far back as Marx in the 1860's.
Infinitum is an ode to blackletter fonts found in the early publications of Das Kapital and publications of a similar era. It takes traditional blackletter forms and straightens them out with a few added flourishes to thoroughly modernise it.
In this respect, it fits the brief perfectly, embodying the sinister feeling that blackletter is known for whilst being modern enough to fit with a more contemporary publication such as the one I am planning.
