Narrow Chamfered Blackletter Letterforms
Gothic Modern Open has narrow, upright letters built from firm stems, clipped corners and short pointed terminals. The lowercase o encloses a tall counter with straight sides and chamfered turns, while the e opens at the lower right beneath a strong crossbar. The capital R joins its angular bowl to a short slanted connection before the leg drops mostly vertically into a pointed foot. Tall lowercase bodies and prominent ascenders give mixed-case words a compact, architectural rhythm. The strokes remain fairly even, with restrained changes in thickness, giving the blackletter shapes a spare, deliberate mood.
Test the font in your wording
Inspect repeated bowls in your Latin wording, especially o and e, and check pointed feet where letters sit close together. Compare mixed case with capitals in the intended layout. For other scripts, verify the required characters and their actual appearance separately.
Font pairing roles
Try this face for the main heading, with a regular sans serif handling descriptions and small labels. Its narrow bowls and pointed terminals suggest testing a companion with rounder forms and quieter endings; assess the combination in your actual layout.

How this page was made. Gothic Modern Open is a FontGenerator library font made with AI; before release its letters were read back one by one by independent automated checks. The design notes were written by AI from the specimen images and checked against them by a second, independent pass; font measurements come from the font file. Preview sizes and spacing are comparison settings.

About
About Gothic Modern Open
Its lowercase is tall: the x-height is 77.3% of the cap height, against a median of 74.4% for decorative fonts, taller than 27 of the 36 other decorative fonts. Ascenders on b, d, h, k and l line up with the capitals (102.9% of their height), and descenders on g, j, p, q and y drop 17% of the cap height below the baseline, shallower than 31 of the 36 other decorative fonts. Gothic Modern Open runs 18.1% narrower than the median for decorative fonts: an average lowercase letter, spacing included, is 62.3% as wide as the capitals are tall (an average capital, 64.4%). The o is an upright oval, 0.69 times as wide as it is tall, and Z is the widest capital, at 1.14 times the width of H. The O stops 5.6% of the cap height short of H and dips 1.1% below the baseline.
The letters stand upright, leaning less than 2.5° either way. Vertical stems measure 14.2% of the cap height, lighter than 16 of the 23 other decorative fonts. Ink covers 34.5% of each lowercase letter's box (its advance width by the cap height), lighter than 22 of the 36 other decorative fonts. The contrast is mild: the sides of o and O are 1.46 times as thick as their tops and bottoms.
Its 316 characters include 273 Latin letters, plus 43 figures, punctuation marks and symbols; 221 of the Latin letters are accented or special forms beyond A to Z. The word space measures 45.6% of the cap height, and the blank space either side of a lowercase letter takes up 15.8% of its width. The font carries no kerning, so spacing comes from each letter’s own side bearings. The figures have different widths, so columns of numbers set in Gothic Modern Open will not line up exactly.
Measured from the version 0.1.1 font file. Comparisons are with the 376 published library fonts measured on November 12, 2026, 37 of them decorative fonts.
