Gothic influences usually refer to architecture, art, and sculptures that were popular during the Middle Ages in Europe. Nowadays, the term ‘gothic’ typically refers to anything that’s dark, mysterious, or edgy.
The word itself though, was coined by Italian writer, Giorgio Vasari. He said that buildings from the Middle Ages are ‘gothic’, meaning ‘uncivilized’ like the ancient Goths. This is due to the rather rough makings of the architecture, so unlike that of the ones built during the Renaissance period.
Just because something is Gothic doesn’t mean it has to be dark or depressing. Today, modern designers have re-created the style to make it look fun, fresh, and even professional. Just check out these Gothic fonts as an example and see for yourself.
