"I cannot read this old script!" Well, truly this script is old but be honest have you ever tried to read a text set in blackletter? This project explains the story of blackletter it's origin, development and why we certainly stopped using blackletter as an everyday typeface. You will see, blackletter is a beautiful part of typography and history. An artwork in itself with high practicality.

The story of blackletter is one of my final major project in graphic arts at Bucks New University 2012. PLEASE NOTE: This is a student project and I used commercial music.
