JAF Lapture is based on the Leipziger Antiqua typeface, originally designed by Albert Kapr and released in 1971 by the East German foundry Typoart. It has distinctive characteristics that combine elements of both blackletter and roman type. It was carefully redesigned, extended, and digitized in 2004. In 2019, Oleg Macujev designed Cyrillics for Text Regular and Italic. In 2025, we updated the family with new styles that were not part of the original release, including extra-heavy weights, condensed styles as well as the Cyrillics. The typeface is available in two optical sizes – one optimised for smaller text and another designed for display purposes.
