Struktur brings back fond memories of vintage King's Quest.

Great font, thanks for the work! Alas, the long s seems missing, a crucial part of every historical blackletter typeface, even of the modern ones in the 20th century. Maybe because of that the form of the ›ß‹ seems a little bit odd, traditionally being a ligature of long s and old style z. There are traditionally a lot more ligatures in blackletter type, e.g. tz, ch etc.

Joachim, thanks for the feedback. I've added a long s, changed the esszet to be a combination of the long s and the lowercase z, and have added a few ligatures. I think I'll add more ligatures periodically, to help make up for the lack of kerning.

Original idea, well executed AND a large character set - that's a 10 from me :)
