Fontscape: Blackletter

Fontscape shows many font examples in each of these blackletter categories:

  • Bastarda (in German: Schwabacher): based on cursive writing. It is typified by an 'o' which is pointed at the top and bottom.
  • Fraktur, the most common form, with o's that are D-shaped.
  • Textura (in German: Gotisch; also: Old English): An angular family of blackletter type, characterised by a hexagonal 'o'.
  • Rotunda (in German: Rundgotisch): the Italian version of Textura blackletter type, called Rundgotisch in German, typified by a smooth circular 'o'.
