The Beuron fonts provide the script used in the works of the Beuron art school,
a monumental script consisting of capital letters only.

Beuronese art was a reform movement of Christian art, established by Peter Lenz
(1832–1928) and Jakob Wüger (1829–1892). Lenz and Wüger entered the Benedictine
abbey of Beuron (near Sigmaringen in Southern Germany) in 1872 and 1870
respectively, where they worked as Pater Desiderius and Pater Gabriel.
Beuronese art was essentially carried by the circle of their pupils from the
monastery in the following decades up to the 1930s. The murals painted by the
artists of the Beuron school were provided with monumental inscriptions, taken
from the Holy Bible or the prayer tradition of the Church, which support the
didactic character of the paintings. For these paintings a script with some
striking features was used, recuring in the most murals and also craft objects
of the school with only minor variations.

Besides the use for monumental inscriptions following the historical example
the Beuron typeface is recommended for headings and ornaments in prayer books,
hymnals and the like. The typeface is not suitable for longer texts and for
profane use.
