What is Bold Fraktur script?

Bold Fraktur is a heavier, more prominent variant of the traditional Fraktur blackletter typeface. While standard Fraktur features elegant thin and thick strokes characteristic of calligraphic writing, Bold Fraktur emphasizes the thicker strokes throughout, creating a more dramatic and visually striking appearance. This style maintains the angular, broken letterforms of classical German blackletter while adding extra weight for greater impact and readability at larger sizes.

Tool description

The Fraktur/Gothic Bold Text Converter transforms standard Latin text into bold Fraktur-style Unicode characters and back. Using Mathematical Bold Fraktur characters from the Unicode standard, the converted text (π–π–Šπ–‘π–‘π–” π–œπ–”π–—π–‘π–‰) can be copied and used anywhere that supports Unicodeβ€”social media platforms, messaging apps, usernames, and documents. The conversion works both ways, allowing you to decode bold Fraktur text back to normal letters.
