The Story of Blackletter- Animation

"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. Like my video?

PLEASE NOTE: This is a student project and I used commercial music.
