I work in an academic library and every time a German book older than 1900s~ comes across my desk, I take a deep breath and collect myself before opening it up and trying to read the title page. Fraktur is an experience. 😏

devinchaloux.comWhat’s That Character? — Devin ChalouxA Fraktur eye exam. Ten blackletter characters, each smaller and worse than the last, then one German sentence on the bottom line.

That was fun! My silly phone keypad sent me in weird directions and that Capitol A was hard. Lower case so much easier. Helps to have studied a little German for the last sentence. 😊 that will be something to keep playing.

Oh, fun! 14 out of 15! Being a native speaker obviously helped, also with the sentence at the end 😂

Thank you for sharing. I scored 20/30 for first attempt so I'd put it at just the right level of challenge
