The history of blackletter dates back to the late 11th century in Europe. Today, it serves as a popular script in Mexico for everything from folk art to signage. Its popularity can be linked to European colonial influence. In its contemporary, pop culture-inspired forms, blackletter surfaces in tattoos, car detailing and on hip-hop album covers. Inspired by her time living and researching in Mexico City, Cristina Paoli Charles investigates the origins of blackletter and traces its movement across an ocean and through a country. The primary focus of her research takes shape in the form of photographs that provide the context for blackletter's many uses today.
