Jackboot grotesque fonts (translated from the German Schaftstiefelgrotesk) combine the bold and sturdy style of Western grotesque sans-serif types with the blackletter form of script traditionally used throughout Western Europe and especially Germany.

Prominent use of this style by the Nazi Party in the early-to-mid-1900s even still causes associations to be made between these typefaces and Adolf Hitler’s ideals of German Nationalism. However, this stereotype can be broken, as these fonts are successfully used today on everything from beer labels to heavy metal album artwork.
