We have now introduced the two day lettering course, as a substitute for 6 week lettering courses.
On 23 April and 21 May Patricia Moody will conduct a course in Fraktur.
Fraktur is a beautiful, but much less frequently used Gothic
script than Textura.
Originating in 14th C Germany, it didn’t last too
long as a handwritten form, but was widely used as a printing font by the early
16th C.
Although as densely packed on the line as Textura, and still
a ‘broken ‘letter, Fraktur has slightly more curves, and is probably easier to
read.
