The Old English typeface, sometimes called Blackletter or Gothic script, is a medieval European style known for its dense, angular, and ornate letters. It was widely used from the 12th to 17th centuries for manuscripts and religious texts, such as the Gutenberg Bible. Though often associated with tradition and formality, it reflects continental European rather than early English writing styles. Today, Old English is used decoratively in headlines, logos, and certificates to evoke a sense of heritage and prestige.
