How to write gothic

Historically refers to the "Gothic" script to use a series of scripts to the texts in Europe between the 12th and 15 Century write serious. These scripts vary in quality, form and style, but also shared some characteristics that we are still looking into the Gothic alphabet today.

If you want your own design immediately recognizable Gothic alphabet, here is what would:

1. Overall, a dense, compressed, somewhat spiky appearance with little space between the letters.
2nd Strong contrast between thick and thin strokes.
3rd Very few rounded forms in the text itself - most of the letters on the basis of a rectangle with sharp corners or sharp edges cut away to a diamond shape.
4th Some form of finial (decorative BLOB or stop) at all free ends of stroke.
5th Too onerous capital letters.

In general, the gothic letters 'A', 'c', 'x' etc is around 4.5 tip pointing to high latitudes. (If the width of the pen used to write the script, 1mm, were these letters are 4.5 mm high, if the spring was 2mm, would each letter must 9mm high to achieve the desired contrast and proportion.) Longer letters above the line 'b 'and' l 'action further 2.5 spring-widths below the line, and the letters "g" and "y" action for a further 2 pen widths.

Finials can lozenges, spirals, squares, circles, triangles, ... each form is a slightly different "feel" for the final script. Adorned only with a strong, contrasting colors on the first letter contributes to the gothic feel.
