liebe (2) - Abstract Fonts

Ahhh, That's right. I suppose in America, the fraktur style is not as culturally tainted with the trappings of fascism. The use by Radiohead of the overly ornate capitals in their iconography is meant, I suspect, to reflect that but they ARE European. I guess I'm interested in the more contemporary version of the style, where ornate, chaotic line is melded with a more twentieth century typeface like Times Roman or Garamond (a good example is the Broken Ghost font). It's fascinating that to you it looks aggressive, while to me it looks hopelessly romantic. I'm enjoying the discussion in this thread. It's a lot more intriguing than: What font is this?
