About the Old English Text
Old English text, also called blackletter, gothic or Fraktur, is the dramatic medieval style you see on newspaper mastheads, diplomas and tattoos. This tool recreates it with Unicode Fraktur letters.
Choose regular Fraktur for a lighter look or bold Fraktur for heavier strokes. Both are great for usernames, band names and headers.
