A Brief History of the Blackletter Font Style
A Brief History of the Blackletter Font Style By: Linda Tseng ● Blackletter font also called Fraktur, Gothic, or Old English. ● From Western Europe such as Germany, Germany use Gothic until World War II. ● During twelfth century to twenty century. ● Blackletter hands were called Gothic by the modernist Lorenzo Valla and others in middle fifteenth century in Italy. ● Used to describe the scripts of the Middle Ages in which the darkness of the characters overpowers the whiteness of the page. ● In the 1500’s, blackletter became less popular for printing in a lots of countries except Germany and the Countries that speaking German. ● The best Textura specimen in the Gutenberg Museum Library’s collection is comes from Great Britain. Overview ● Rotunda types, the second oldest blackletter style never really caught on as a book type in German speaking lands, although twentieth century calligraphers, as well as arts and crafts designers, have used it quite well for display purposes. ● Cursiva- developed in the 14th century as a simple form of textualis. ● Hybrida( bastarda)- a mixture of textualis and cursiva, and it’s developed in the early 15th century. ● Donatus Kalender- the name for the metal type design that Gutenberg used in his earliest surviving printed works, and it’s from the early 1450s. Blackletters are difficult to read as body text so they are better used for headings, logos, posters and signs. ● Newspaper headlines, magazine, Fette Fraktur are used for old fashioned headlines and beer advertising. ● Wilhelm Klingspor Gotisch adorns many wine label. ● Linotext and Old English are popular choices for certificates. -
MUFI Character Recommendation V. 3.0: Code Chart Order

Background Version 1.0 of the MUFI recommendation was published electronically and in hard copy on 8 December 2003. It was the result of an almost two-year-long electronic discussion within the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative (http://www.mufi.info), which was established in July 2001 at the International Medi- eval Congress in Leeds. Version 1.0 contained a total of 828 characters, of which 473 characters were selected from various charts in the official part of the Unicode Standard and 355 were located in the Private Use Area. Version 1.0 of the recommendation is compliant with the Unicode Standard version 4.0. Version 2.0 is a major update, published electronically on 22 December 2006. It contains a few corrections of misprints in version 1.0 and 516 additional char- acters (of which 123 are from charts in the official part of the Unicode Standard and 393 are additions to the Private Use Area). There are also 18 characters which have been decommissioned from the Private Use Area due to the fact that they have been included in later versions of the Unicode Standard (and, in one case, because a character has been withdrawn). -

The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke. -
