I like to think that Old English blackletter was nicknamed “text” as shorthand for “textura” or “textualis”, the academically preferred appellations for this style. But I still find “English Church Text” humorously inappropriate for this engraving of relatively light broad-nib capitals surrounded by pointed pen swashes.
