How it works

This gothic text generator sets your line in Unicode's two Fraktur alphabets, 104 letters in all. They are characters, not a font, so the result pastes as text. Some apps strip or block these characters, and screen readers may read them badly.

Two rows, Gothic and Old English

The large card sets your line in Gothic, Unicode's lighter Fraktur. Old English (bold) sits below. It is the heavier alphabet, what an Old English text generator is expected to give. Numbers and punctuation have no Fraktur form, and each row names what stayed plain. For arched lettering saved as a picture, use Chicano lettering.

Five capitals older than the rest

For old text the characters are young: both alphabets joined Unicode in March 2001, as mathematical symbols. The lighter run has five empty slots, because C, H, I, R and Z were encoded in 1993. ℑ and ℜ mark the imaginary and real parts of a complex number. If those five look unlike their neighbours, that is why. The bold run has no gaps.

Tips
  • Type a year and it stays plain, because there are no Fraktur digits. Gothic numbers draws dates in real blackletter fonts.
  • A search box or sign-up form that normalizes text folds all 104 letters back to plain ones, so a gothic name can come back plain.

Questions and answers

Is this a Fraktur font generator or a real font?

No font is involved. Each letter becomes a character such as Mathematical Fraktur small a, U+1D51E, and the reader's device draws it, so the blackletter you see is that device's. One without these characters shows empty boxes.

Is an Old English font really Old English?

Not the language. Wikipedia's blackletter article records that the lettering is sometimes called Old English, while the Old English language predates it by many centuries and was written in insular script or runes.

Is this the gangster font copy and paste look?

That name gets used for heavy blackletter, and the closest row here is Old English (bold). It pastes because the letters are characters, not artwork.

Does it work as a German font generator?

Up to the sharp s. Ä, ö and ü come back as a Fraktur letter with its two dots kept as a combining mark, but Unicode has no Fraktur ß, so Straße keeps a plain one.

How this list was compiled: All 104 rows were generated by a script from the Unicode Character Database, version 18.0.0 (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt). The script stops unless every name is the one expected, every row carries a <font> decomposition back to its plain letter, and the file uses every character whose name holds the word Fraktur (99 of them). Ages come from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt and blocks from https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/Blocks.txt. The list is the two Fraktur alphabets of the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block: Mathematical Fraktur (U+1D504 to U+1D537) and Mathematical bold Fraktur (U+1D56C to U+1D59F), 52 letters each. The lighter run has five empty slots, for capital C, H, I, R and Z. Those letters are Black-letter capital C, H, I, R and Z in the Letterlike Symbols block (U+212D, U+210C, U+2111, U+211C, U+2128), in Unicode since version 1.1. NamesList.txt (https://www.unicode.org/Public/18.0.0/ucd/NamesList.txt) says of the Fraktur symbols that the style is sometimes known as black-letter and that symbols already in Letterlike Symbols are omitted to avoid duplicate encoding. It is also the source of the alternative names Hilbert space, imaginary part and real part, and of the cross-references from Latin small letter blackletter e and o (U+AB32, U+AB3D, under the heading Letters for German dialectology). Unicode has no Fraktur digits, no Fraktur sharp s and no Fraktur punctuation, so the file has none. The note on capital I and J is from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraktur. Release dates are from https://www.unicode.org/history/publicationdates.html (1.1 in June 1993, 3.1 in March 2001). All checked on 2026-09-19. Names are the official ones in sentence case, with Fraktur and the letter keeping their capitals.
