Fakir is a contemporary blackletter typeface, with a set of 11 edgy text and display fonts, ranging from tight and heavy to light and wide. Fakir is a Hindu ascetic or religious mendicant, especially one who performs feats of magic or endurance.

Blackletter was a script used throughout Western Europe from approximately 1150 to 1500. It continued to be used for the German language until the 20th century.
