This is my attempt to make an ornate blackletter typeface, but pixelated! I really enjoyed adding all of the swirls and firls to adorn the font itself, so i hope you all enjoy it :-)

Based on the theme of rebirth, ‘Fill in the blanks’ draws inspiration from the Renaissance era. Looking at the original printing press, traditional blackletter and Renaissance calligraphy, ‘Fill in the blanks’ offers a modern twist on some of the oldest typefaces to date. By looking at the brush strokes of blackletter and the serifs used in the printing press typefaces, this font is a combination of these characteristics. By using just these features the human eye can still recognise the letter form, essentially allowing your mind to ‘Fill in the blanks.’

This is my first Fontstruction.The process was not so esay I did many attempts and this is the final result. The font was inspired by Gothic architecture

Textura Digita, a Blackletter ASL fingerspelling font.  The capital letters are meant to be the old-fashioned way of writing, directly representing signed hand shapes.  The lowercase letters are meant to be a more modern version, what the capital letters might morph into after hundreds of years of use (but still written with a roundhand nib).

This is a typeface inspired by blackletter and the Victorian era. There are repeated elements like bars and dramatic serifs that make it stand out. This is best used for headings or titles. 

This is an uppercase font created using dots as the main element of design. A font to test your mind and your inner space nerd with it's out of this world feel.

Use with red Capitals

ZMRDE!

Na plešce ti vidím vešku,

zaklapni svou sprostou držku,

nebo spadneš na koleje.

Zpozdím tebou české dráhy,

spousta lidí se pobleje,

až zvážím tvé smrti váhy.

Na plešce ti vidím vešku,

koukám na ní pěkně zvršku.

Koukám tak i na tebe,

na všechny kolem sebe.

hehe

A gothic blackletter font for all your font needs.

A gothic blackletter font for all your font needs.

A modern twist on classic black letter type gothic fonts. I was inspired by modern contemporary branding with how they produce formal and high class products with an urban/grunge aesthetic.  

A minimalist fraktur, broken down to the bare minimum of penstrokes. Based on the later more rounded typefaces with fewer distinct pen movements. Made for practicing calligraphy rather than æsthetics, especially w.r.t. lowercase letters. This schematic breakdown makes for easier learning of stroke-order and movements.

It is finally done! It took me around 3 full days of design work and polishing.

The major character design part is about done, and I probably will only add some additional extra ligatures and special characters.

The design approach is a large grid Faux Bezier style to get the most out of custom shaping Top/bottom grid scale is a total of 71 bricks with ascenders and descenders included.

I have done a whole lot of finalizing background work already, and many pairs have been kerned already, but not everything was done yet, this is going to be completed within the next few days.

- Littera Textualis Emergo -

A formal Gothic minuscule that was inspired by Latin bookhand script, better known as 'Textualis'. This script was popular between the 12th & 16th century. Basically Those that would have been used for the main text of Latin books.

A more detailed description is has been written down in a sample image posted in the comment section bellow.

I hope y'all like it as much as I do.

====[ EDUCATIVE INTRO ]====

At a time when making books was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process, an increasingly literate 12th-century Europe required more and more books. To keep up with the increasing demand for the spread of literature was a ongoing struggle. Writing materials such as inks, dyes and parchment were very expensive. And it wasn't until the 15th century, when parchment was largely replaced by paper, along with the arrival of the printing press, for it to gradually became cheaper, faster and less labor-intensive.

So it made perfect sense to find other ways to help with this process.
Simplifying a script and cutting back on the decorative calligraphy was the most effective way of doing this.

This led to the development of simplified variations to pre-existing bookhand scripts. One of such forms is littera textualis, categorizing within the Textualis/Textura or simply Gothic bookhand scripts group.

Littera textualis is the simplest and least calligraphic form of textualis. It was developed with just two main goals in mind, to save time and costs. The simplified letterforms could be written much quicker than the more calligraphic and luxurious variations. It offered a more cost effective and faster version to the script. It was often used for less important literary works and academic papers.

It functioned as the standard bookhand script in the Netherlands during the 14th & 15th centuries.

====[ ABOUT THIS FONT ]====

TEXTUALIS BATAVICUM - A calligraphic inspired Blackletter/Gothic bookhand script. Essentially a Textualis/Textura inspired work.
The design mainly follows the concept for a traditional form of littera textualis bookhand script as was described in the intro written above.

It remains a work in progress and I will add update info for this font in the comment section bellow.

Some character still need slight adjustments, but so far I am very pleased with the result. As you can probably notice, the uppercase characters have slight more weight than the lowercase has.

More characters follow soon.

I hope y'all like it
