Elegant Blackletter with the Fraktur Text Generator
Fraktur emerged in 16th-century Germany as a refined calligraphic style, becoming the dominant typeface for German-language printing for over 400 years. Its broken, angular letterforms distinguish it from the smooth curves of Roman type, carrying connotations of tradition, formality, and medieval craftsmanship that remain powerful today in creative projects.
This tool uses characters from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols Unicode block (U+1D504โU+1D537 for Fraktur). Each letter maps to its blackletter equivalent: "A" becomes "๐", "kingdom" becomes "๐จ๐ฆ๐ซ๐ค๐ก๐ฌ๐ช". The regular-weight Fraktur is lighter and more elegant than Bold Fraktur, making it suitable for decorative accents and refined aesthetics without overwhelming the reader.
Because these are standard Unicode charactersโnot custom fonts or imagesโthey work in any text field: social media, documents, chat apps, and design tools. The gothic mood travels with your words wherever they go across platforms.

Fraktur Text Styling Tips
TextGenerator.net offers two blackletter weights. Choose based on your intended effect:
- Fraktur (๐๐ซ๐ฆ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฑ): Lighter, more elegant strokes. Use for refined aesthetics, vintage branding, formal invitations, and decorative accents where subtlety matters
- Bold Fraktur (๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐): Heavier, more dramatic weight. Use for metal band names, fierce guild titles, and commanding headlines where power is the goal
- This style covers letters A-Z and a-z; numbers remain in standard form for compatibility
- Note: Uppercase C, H, I, R, Z use special Letterlike Symbols (โญ, โ, โ, โ, โจ) that may render slightly differently on some platforms
- Screen readers may announce these as "mathematical fraktur" charactersโavoid for critical accessibility content
- Mix uppercase and lowercase for best readability rather than using all caps throughout
- The lighter weight makes Fraktur ideal for body text and longer passages compared to Bold Fraktur
