Gothic Text Generator - Medieval Fraktur Fonts
Our gothic text generator converts your text into the ornate, angular characters of the Fraktur calligraphic tradition using Unicode Mathematical Fraktur symbols. Also known as blackletter or Old English text, this style evokes the scribes and manuscripts of medieval Europe, and it remains one of the most popular and distinctive font styles for social media profiles, usernames, and creative projects.
Two Gothic Styles
Gothic (Fraktur Light) (𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠) uses the standard Mathematical Fraktur Unicode characters for an elegant, refined blackletter appearance. Bold Gothic (𝕲𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖎𝖈) uses the Mathematical Bold Fraktur block for a heavier, more imposing presence. Both styles are excellent choices for making a strong visual statement.
History of Gothic Script
Fraktur originated in the 12th century and was the dominant script in Western Europe for centuries. Its angular, broken strokes (the word "Fraktur" comes from Latin "fractus" meaning "broken") made it efficient for scribes to write while maintaining artistic beauty. Today, the style is associated with everything from metal band logos to tattoo art to antique manuscripts.
