Using UnifrakturCook for monograms
UnifrakturCook is a heavier Fraktur than Maguntia, which makes it the better blackletter for vinyl and for embroidery, and it holds up at 2.5 inches. It is used in its bold weight here.
Blackletter capitals are used for single-initial Old English monograms on jackets, car windows, tumblers and tattoo-style designs, and occasionally for two letters. The ornate hairlines of a true Fraktur need 3 inches in vinyl; the modern gothic faces manage 2 inches. For embroidery, drop the hairline flourishes below 2.5 inches.
For the name in a split monogram or the date under a wedding monogram, pair UnifrakturCook with Cinzel; the tool’s “Text font” control sets it.
