The Blackletter style, also known as Brokenscript, is a historic typographic classification encompassing letterforms that originated and gained prominence during medieval Europe. While these typefaces are occasionally referred to collectively as Frakturs, Fraktur actually represents just one specific branch of the Blackletter family tree, alongside other distinct regional variations such as Textura, Schwabacher, Rotunda, and Bastarda. As with any classification based on historic aesthetics, modern revivals that replicate these dense, angular attributes are still categorized as Blackletter fonts, regardless of when they were actually designed.
