Fraktur [fʁakˈtuːɐ] is a calligraphic hand and any of several blackletter typefaces derived from this hand. The word derives from the past participle fractus ("broken") of Latin frangere ("to break"). In contrast to the smooth curves of Antiqua (common) typefaces, which were modeled after antique Roman square capitals and Carolingian minuscule, the blackletter lines are broken up — that is, their forms contain many angles. The term "Fraktur" is sometimes applied to all of the blackletter typefaces (known in German as Gebrochene Schrift).
