      Yeah, they’re fun! But it’s hard for me to remember to use them.

    Beautiful! It seems German - QWERTZ layout. Was it expensive, if I may ask?

      I have never seen a non-German Fraktur machine. This one cost me about $1000.

    Ah, the Middle-Ages' vibe of manuscripts in a typewriter. <3
