Jahrhunderts sind, ausgehend von England, durch die Schriftreformer

Blackletter typefaces evolved out of Northern Europe's medieval manuscript tradition. Grouped into four sub-families (Textura, Fraktur, Bastarda, and Rotunda), this style of type is characterized by the wide-nibbed pen strokes that are make its letterforms.
