Black metal font is also called blackletter, Gothic, Old English or Fraktur. Black metal font may refer to the general use of the German Fraktur typeface ( ) for body text rather than technical uses like its use as a print typeface for posters or musical alphabets . The choice of using this particular form of blackletter is not generally one motivated by aesthetics, but rather dictated by convention. The font used for the Black Metal logo is known as 'Dagor Bragollach'.
