In fact that Gothic suits any kind of short official or medieval-looking document for which impressive appearance is more important than legibility.

Whenever you are writing Gothic alphabets, you need to some important skills to do:

• Keep pen angle at 45 degrees

• Draw short, straight diagonal lines - both thin and thick, in different directions
• Small, controlled movement of the nib
• Rhythm!
