Why you should consider Frankfurter

Find Frankfurter on MyFonts: https://www.myfonts.com/collections/frankfurter-font-itc. Drawn by several Letraset designers and released by ITC, Frankfurter is a lighthearted, extra-large display family offered in four decorative styles. Its range — Normal, Medium, Highlight and Inline — makes it easy to switch from solid headline weight to ornamented treatments in the same voice.

Visual character

Frankfurter presents squat, heavily weighted letterforms with blunt, bulbous terminals and generous, rounded counterforms that read as a single, friendly texture at display sizes. Stroke contrast is minimal, giving each character a chunky, almost rubbery silhouette; the Highlight and Inline styles introduce internal lines and negative-space details that add decorative depth without changing the base proportions. Letter widths are generally wide and compressed horizontally in places, which pushes shapes into a compact, poster-ready rhythm.

Best use cases

• Large-format poster headlines for retro or novelty events
• Packaging for confectionery, toys, or nostalgic consumer goods
• Storefront signage and window displays that need high-impact, readable lettering
• Promotional artwork and social graphics that benefit from an emphatic, period-specific headline

Font pairing ideas

• Neutral grotesque sans for supporting copy — a clean, low-contrast grotesque keeps Frankfurter’s heavy, rounded shapes from overwhelming reading text while maintaining a modern voice.
• Condensed humanist sans for narrow columns or labels — the narrower proportions and simpler terminals of a condensed humanist will contrast Frankfurter’s wide counters and blunt terminals without clashing.
• Slender serif for editorial contrast — a hairline or low-contrast serif introduces vertical rhythm and refinement, letting Frankfurter serve as a decorative headline while the serif supports longer body copy.
