	Blackletter: Type and National Identity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Blackletter: Type and National Identity is the first English-language monograph devoted to flletter type since the publication of Stanley Morison's Black-Letter Text, which represents the surviving fragments of a larger study ironically destroyed by the 1941 German blitz of London.
		Blackletter is an all-encompassing term used to describe the scripts of the Middle Ages in which the darkness of the characters overpowers the whiteness of the page.
		The basic flletter scripts are textura and rotunda, the former primarily associated with northern Europe and the latter with southern Europe.

		Blackletter would continue to go strong in Germany until just before the second World War, when it died a political death at the height of its hybridization.
		In the early 21st century, flletter type has been appearing sporadically on visible media, but as of late 2005, it is not known how long the renewed interest will last, or even whether or not it will catch on at all.
		The result of injecting Bauhaus elements into flletter turned out to be a typeface that is very legible and usable in modern settings, while at the same time harking back to the historical forms of early printing.

		LUCIDA BLACKLETTER Lucida Blackletter is a modern interpretation of an internationally popular style of printing types used for vernacular literature in northern Europe in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
		Lucida Blackletter has the dark texture, fractured curves, and tight fitting typical of the gothic type styles, but it is much more relaxed, playful, and exuberant than the stiff, conservative "textura" flletter once used for religious and legal documents and publications in Latin.
		Blackletter capitals were traditionally not designed to be combined into all capital settings; capitals were intended to be used with lowercase only.

		Most newspapers, especially in North America, like to use flletter for their nameplates (that is, the name at the top of the front page, which Parkinson insists should not be called a logo); it's traditional, and it's seen as somehow lending gravitas to the paper -- or at any rate as being what readers expect.
		Blackletter tends to be compact, especially textura, but Amador is noticeably narrower than most of the currently available flletter faces.
		It is not as beautiful as some of the truly amazing flletter typefaces of the past (which are often in a different style of flletter, such as schwabacher or fraktur), but it will evoke the nostalgic associations of textura and still be clearly readable.

	Rotunda (script) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rotunda is a specific medieval flletter script.
		Sometimes, it is not considered a flletter script, but a script on its own.
		The difference between the Rotunda and other flletter scripts is that broken bows appear only in a few letters such as d.

		As he introduced the subject and the slides to accompany it, I began to realize what Blackletter was, so interesting to hear from someone with such a feeling for this lettering style.
		The amount of "s's" in a flletter alphabet confused me initially until Peter explained that in this lettering style there are s's for the middle of words and s's for the ends of words, one alphabet having four different s's!

	Blackletter - Fonts.com
		The forceful visual presence of flletter typestyles evolved from the early handwritten forms of liturgical writings and illuminated manuscripts.
		Blackletter was an elegant solution to a tricky design problem: parchment was precious and economy of space was vital, but the text also had to have sufficient oomph to hold its own against the spectacular illustrations surrounding it.
		Blackletter typefaces, sometimes referred to as Gothic or Old English, are characterized by a dense fl texture and highly decorated caps.

		In such campaigns, flletter type combined with photos of usual daily activity simply adds a level of strength and mystique to things we see and do on a regular basis.
		This is because almost all flletter fonts ever made express too much strength and time-stamp themselves in a definite manner, thereby eliminating themselves as possible type choices for a variety of common contemporary design approaches, such as minimal, geometric, modular, etc.
		So extending the idea of using flletter in modern design was a bit of a wild goose chase for us.

		There is a default association between flletter and the Nazis, further enhanced by period pieces (posters, video games, books) created today that employ flletter when referring to WWII, Nazis, Germany or a combination thereof; as well as the adoption of flletter by Neo-Nazis.
		Regardless of their efforts to distance themselves from the oppressive and emotionally aggressive use of flletter it is a tough task to disassociate flletter from the atrocities of World War II.
		This campaign focuses, as stated on a press release, on individuals “who stand out from the crowd because they are true to themselves, challenge the status quo and do things in their own unique way,” and who ultimately represent what Reebok wants to stand for: Individuality and authenticity.

		I have long been a big fan of flletters, and due to the commonality of Fette Fraktur, I ignored it for a while until I realized how incredibly beautiful and well crafted it is. I come back to it time and again (and chose the "S" for my coffin lid in that other thread).
		I was thinking about flletters on certificates just the other day, as I waited in the doctor's office, and stared at his various framed certificates...
		Blackletter is at its peak on mainstream, it can, sadly, only go downhill from here.

	When in Doubt, Set it in Caslon
		The flletter of Gutenberg's 42-line Bible set a precedent for German type design that persisted into the twentieth century with Fraktur and Schwabacher types, which are hard to read.
		The vertical emphasis is even greater than that of flletter, and the horizontal emphasis provided by the serif, which enhances legibility, is nonexistent.
		The perfect compromise between flletter and modern sans serif is a typeface with rounded serifs, a modest contrast between thick and thin elements, and a roughened line.

		Second, while Part One of the Blackletter Statement will continue, for comparability’s sake, to carry the title “adjudication,” it will have to be emphasized that that term is not employed as such in the EU context.
		Given the European focus of the Blackletter Statement of European Union Administrative Law and its background reports, as well as their obvious comparative law value, it is appropriate to consider the possibility of their being jointly published by the American Bar Association and the governments of the EU and the US.
		A much more fitting sequel to the Blackletter Statement on EU Administrative Law, and background reports, would be an examination of the implications of a comparison between US and EU regulatory processes for (a) transatlantic regulatory cooperation and/or (b) trade disputes avoidance and settlement within the framework of the WTO and other international regimes.

		Even beer labels are “dumbing down” their flletter logos (instead of using a long-s, they are replacing them with closing-s’s; they must think that people won’t be able to read them).
		But the fact remains that Blackletter is still being used to connote negativity and things passed and is not being used as a body text, so its revival can only be short lived, until the current fashions it is representing become unfasionable.
		But the flletter looks as though it may be relatively recent, if you compare this 1934 image with this 1890 image.

		And indeed, at the beginning the Nazis encouraged their use...that is, until, in one of the most bizarre decrees of the Third Reich, Hitler declared them "non-German" and even "Jewish" and banned them with immediate effect.
		Blackletter type manifestly is not "associated with Nazi propaganda these days." The typical association is street-cred cool.
		I once saw a guy wearing a frat t-shirt where all the text was in a highly decorated flletter face (something like this one) including the greek letters in the name of the frat.

	Flandre : "Gothife Monnikke Letteren" with lowercase - Blackletter (Old English) category
		The "Gothife Monnikke Letteren" is a writing style used during the Middle Ages mainly in The Netherlands, as we call that region today.
		Small caps using this kind of lettering are extremely difficult to decipher, and original manuscripts, although splendid, are close to unreadable to contemporary eyes.
		I hope this revival, or rather, revisited version of this kind of flletter will please the eye of modern readers.

		Lucida Blackletter aligns in the heights of lowercase and capitals with other Lucida text fonts, but its swash ascenders are longer than text ascenders, so needs additional line spacing of at least 20% of the type size, to ensure that ascenders and descenders do not collide.

		The most famous quote (possibly the only quote) about flletter type is from Frederic Goudy in 1936.
		He received a certificate of excellence that was handlettered in this style and immediately stated, "Anyone who would letterspace flletter would steal sheep," hurting the calligrapher's feelings, of course.
		It's not a good idea to letterspace flletter because part of the beauty of the incredible letterforms is in the tightly woven texture they create on the page.
