What is Fraktur text?
Fraktur is a form of blackletter script โ a style of writing developed in Western Europe in the 12th century and used as the standard typeface in German-speaking countries until the mid-20th century. Unicode includes the complete Fraktur alphabet in its Mathematical Fraktur block (U+1D504โU+1D537 for regular, U+1D56CโU+1D59F for bold), making it available as plain text characters.
Unicode Fraktur is what most people call “gothic font” or “old English text” online โ the terms are used interchangeably. Regular Fraktur (๐๐ โญ) has a lighter feel; Bold Fraktur (๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ) is heavier and more dramatic.
