Short phrases, generous spacing
Blackletter needs restraint: a few words, large, in sentence case, with extra letter spacing to stop the dense strokes merging. The ornamental capitals are designed to open a word, not to spell one, so avoid all-caps settings entirely. Pair it with a plain serif for any supporting text and the contrast will do the rest.
Blackletter Font: common questions
- Is blackletter the same as Old English?
- Old English is one branch of blackletter. Fraktur and Textura are others, differing mainly in how angular the strokes are.
- Where is blackletter used today?
- Newspaper mastheads, diplomas and certificates, drinks labels, metal and hip hop artwork, and tattoo lettering.
- Why is it hard to read?
- The strokes are dense and evenly spaced, so individual letters blur together. Keep it to headlines and short names.
