- "I cannot read this old script!" Well, truly this script is old but be honest -- have you ever tried to read a text set in blackletter? This project explains the story of blackletter -- it's origin, development and why we certainly stopped using blackletter as an everyday typeface. You will see, blackletter is a beautiful part of typography and history. An artwork in itself with high practicality.

The story of blackletter is one of my final major project in graphic arts at Bucks New University 2012. PLEASE NOTE: This is a student project and I used commercial music. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Thank you for this excellently made and informative animation! I love the runway show in the middle where we see all the Blackletter variants strut their stuff!
Thanks! I'm working on blackletter calligraphy and was intrigued by the history. This is so informative and well-made.
What an amazing video. I wish you made more of these.... so informative and especially so to amateur calligraphers!
Thanks i have just started calligraphy and i love Gothic.
Same here.
I do love it so much too.
Thanks a lot for making this. Well done, very interesting, beautiful.
What an excellent overview. As a calligrapher in the monastic traditions as a child i was taught that the battle over the letters was based on protestant vs. Catholic…..the catholics saying, of course, that the blackletter was dark and of the devil, and therefore moved away into the ‘light’ and hence lighter Italic hands developed. I am happy now to use all of the hands, each lovely in their own way.
I can’t be the only one who recognized Fade to Black during the fashion show. Well played.
wonderful detailed animation and great story telling!
You NEED more subs. This was a work of art.
I myself like to write blackletter much more than modern manuscript; breaking things up into short straight lines makes writing much easier than all those articulated circles.
This is really great!
Helps me a lot for my report about the history of Blackletter
Beautiful, you have my admiration.
Loved the stage and the applause 😂 👏. Well done!
Great music choice! Apocalyptica, Rammstein, Motorhead - love it!

Was that the intro from Liebe Ist Für Alle Da in the background there?
Harika bir animasyon ve harika bir hikaye. 👏👏💓👏
Great video, but runes are not an older cousin of the Latin Alphabet. They descend from the Old Italic Script which is the earliest version of the Latin Alphabet we know. The Old Italic Script was created initially by the Etruscans who copied Western Variants of the Greek Alphabet used at the time. The Italic speaking groups of the Italian peninsula like the Oscan, Umbrans and Romans then borrowing their writing and it eventually evolved further into Square Capitals, but still the appearance of Northern European runes is hundreds of years after Latin was being written in this script.
Also, Antiqua is pronounced "Anti-kwa" and it is the word for "old" or "ancient"(due to the humanist belief that the Carolingian minuscule/uncial script they saw was actually Roman handwriting).
Hello, I was wondering if you still used this channel as I have a few questions, thanks.
nice video
Swedish used Fraktur until the 1870s, and Norwegian and Danish until the early 20th century.
Fade to Black .-.
Budding font nerd here :)
Fokkin' noice
I don't know that blackletter is more convenient for Romance languages like french... we don't have these ligatures and need for stuff like that. Then again... who says every language needs to use the same typography all the time....
How about explaining how stupid is the reason they don't use it anymore in Germany?
Faaaaade to black... Sorry, I heard that :v
And Master of Puppets
So Nazis ruined fashion AND calligraphy... Great... I hate them EVEN MORE. Not that I lacked reasons to do so. THEY CAN F THEMSELVES.
