Claudius Alternate, developed by Paul Koch from Rudolf Koch's written models and completed by Gebr. Klingspor, is a free medieval blackletter font. Its dark strokes form compact letters with sharp wedges and interior cuts. Curves end abruptly.
Its manuscript-rooted Gothic style suits historical publishing and museum graphics with an early printed-page atmosphere. For book covers and theatrical posters, the irregular contours can make titles resemble carved or hand-inked lettering. It also fits heraldic merchandise and period event programs, where pointed forms can echo crests, banners, and architectural ornament.
Nach geschriebenen Vorlagen von Rudolf Koch stellte sein Sohn Paul Koch 1931-1934, also noch zu Lebzeiten seines Vaters, einen Grad der Schrift her; die uebrigen Grade wurden bis 1937 durch die Schriftgiesserei Gebr. Klingspor (Offenbach/M.) ergaenzt.
