Gothic text with a dark edge

Blackletter in light and heavy weights, framed with crosses, daggers and roses. Copy it for your bio, band or gamer tag.

Gothic vs. Old English

Both names describe blackletter, the angular script used in medieval Europe. "Old English" is the name people use for jerseys, mastheads and tattoos. "Gothic" is used for the dark aesthetic: metal bands, goth and emo profiles, horror and fantasy games. The letters are the same, the framing changes. For classic lettering, see Old English fonts.

Tips

  • Write in normal case. Blackletter capitals are ornate and hard to read in a row.
  • Use bold for small spaces. Heavy blackletter holds up better in profile names and on small screens.
  • Keep it short. One to three words reads best.

Questions

What is the gothic font called?

Typographers call it blackletter, and the style this generator uses is Fraktur. Gothic, Old English and blackletter all refer to the same family.

Can I use gothic fonts on Instagram and Discord?

Yes. Paste them into bios, display names, captions and messages. Usernames only accept plain letters.

Why don't gothic numbers work?

Unicode only has blackletter letters, not digits. Numbers stay plain in the light style and become bold in the heavy style.
