What font, "We are going to win," did Mango Mussolini select? That shit looks exactly like the font the fucking Nazis used!

I believe it's Blackletter - edit: which is a family of Gothic fonts. The variant shown is Fraktur.

What's interesting is the Nazi regime first heavily used Gothic scripts, particularly Fraktur, claiming these scripts were an element of Aryan heritage, but later banned Fraktur in 1941, claiming it was 'Judenlettern' (Jew letters). This was of course utter shite and is now understood to primarily be a pretense to switch to more easily read, modern fonts.

I hate it because I think Gothic scripts look neat, but they're still heavily associated with the Nazis.

I think blackletter is a family of gothic fonts, with fraktur being one type of blackletter.

Fraktur(aka Nazi font):

Picture above:

This being said, I'd argue the properly Nazi one is Tannenberg(which commemorates the German victory over Russia):

IRC Tannenberg is also a form of Fraktur (which is a form of blackletter) and obviously they're all Gothic scripts.

IRC the nazis abandoned them at one point, because they're not always legible.

e: I've just had an interesting trip down wikipedia lane, so take all this with a pinch of salt.

Thank you. I forgot the most important part: blackletter refers to a family of Gothic fonts. Fraktur, the font shown in the photo, is one variant.

And then Tannenberg, the really nazi one that commemorates a German victory over Russia, is a variant of Fraktur in the same family.

I've edited my comment above, because I had to go on wikipedia to check.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say this typeface is going to be whatever the closest one is that's available in Canva Free
