 Gothic
(often known as Olde English) is a formal hand dating from
around the 12th/13th century. The script is always
vertical and is characterised by serifs at the top and foot of
the letters. The script is written with a broad nib and
the letter forms are narrow with respect to their height giving
text written in Gothic Script a dense texture as shown in the
example to the left. |

As many medieval documents are testament to, Gothic script is
enhanced with highly illuminated letters and rich decorative
borders and panels as shown in the examples below.
Naturally, Gothic script is highly suitable for weddings that
are set in medieval manor houses and castles. The script
can be difficult to read, particularly at a distance, because of
its dense texture and this makes it less suitable for seating
plans for weddings of more than 150 people. |
