Gothic Textura Quadrata
or 'black letter gothic'
2.
characteristics
Primarily used for sumptuous liturgical books

highly legible Minuscule
angular shapes suggest a 'woven' appearance
3.
Untitled Slide
strong sense of verticality, heavy shading, biting (overlapping) of facing bows
heavy lines give it 'blackness' and the tapestry-like quality gives it the name 'Textura'
bases of letters have neatly constructed angular feet
4.
Untitled Slide
Extension strokes on the ascenders and descenders
Diamond shape to letters, especially tops and bottoms of vertical lines
Minims — 'm' 'n' 'i' 'u'
distinguished word spacing
5.
capital letters
signal the start of a new sentence, paragraph, or page
6.
Untitled Slide
Capital letters took on the form of roman square capitals or uncial letters, with extension of the round and vertical strokes
often highly decorated and presented in a boxed form
could incorporate floral or animal imagery
7.
ligatures
letters are fused, woven together in 'biting curves'
8.
punctuation
use of various forms of punctus
9.
Untitled Slide
gothic prescisus vel sine pedibus is different because the bases of the letters are cut off straight, parallel to the marking line
they do not have the angular feet of gothic textura quadrata - hence the name 'sine pedibus' which means 'without feet'
