Old English Text is a bold and ornamental typeface style rooted in Gothic script traditions. Known for its dramatic thick and thin strokes, sharp angles, and intricate letterforms, it adds a touch of medieval elegance to any design. With the Quick Font Creator app, you can now create your very own Old English-style font directly on your phone.

Understanding the Style

Old English Text fonts (sometimes called Blackletter or Gothic fonts) require precise, angular strokes. The letters are often built with diagonal strokes similar to the "/" shape. These strokes give the typeface its signature look—strong, stylized, and structured.

Choosing the Right Brush

To recreate this classic look, use an italic or oblique brush in Quick Font Creator. This brush mimics the traditional calligraphy pen used for Gothic scripts.

• Go to Canvas Settings
• Select the Brush Shape similar to a forward slash (/)
• Adjust the brush size based on stroke thickness needed

🔧 Tip: You can pin the brush size control to the writing screen for quick access. Just tap the pin icon next to the brush size slider in the canvas settings.

Writing Tips on Mobile

Creating detailed Old English letters on a touchscreen takes a bit of practice. Here are some tips:

• Use short strokes instead of long, sweeping motions
• Rotate your device if needed for more comfortable angles
• Try a stylus for better control and pressure precision

Enhance Your Typography Game

Once your characters are complete, Quick Font Creator compiles them into a TTF (TrueType Font) file that you can use in other apps or share with others. Whether you're designing for print, digital art, or personal projects, a custom Old English font adds a unique historical flair.
