    Crimson Text

    A roman book face for the text beneath Fraktur headings: the change from broken blackletter strokes to an old-style roman keeps the period flavour in the titles and the reading in a familiar form.

BPOZZ Design Note

Its ch, ck, ſt and tz are required ligatures that stay joined when letter-spacing opens the line, while optional ones such as fi and fl break apart. Upstream calls that distinction experimental, so test tracked-out Fraktur headlines in the browsers you support.
