Years back, I posted a series of posts that dove into learning Blackletter (specifically in Textura and Fraktur styles). But believe it or not, it’s incredibly popular and its rich history predates scripts like Copperplate or Spencerian by centuries. You might not think of this classic script style when you think of calligraphy or hand-lettering. No matter what style I would pursue, I would always find myself coming back to the “gothic” school of letterforms. It was actually blackletter script that got me into hand-lettering years back.
