Designed by Zuzana Licko, Absolutely Gothic is a blackletter typeface family. This typeface has 3 designs and was published by Emigre.

As with numerous of my early designs, Completely Gothic started from a bitmap. In those days, aliased bitmaps were state of the art, and I was explore their possibilities. Among these experiments began as a blackletter bitmap, which was not so interesting in itself, however when I applied PostScript lays out around the shapes, this was the inspiration for Completely Gothic.

Totally Gothic is my 20th century analysis of the blackletter style. "... why did letter press type start to look a certain way, and why was that eventually accepted as being readable? Not due to the fact that individuals were reading the type off the bed of the letterpress. They were still reading it off the printed page. That didn't have anything more to do with casting lead than it makes with computer chips today, but that's where it came from, and that's what we have actually gotten used to. It's the very same with Blackletter, which was at one point more legible to people than humanist typefaces… … two hundred years from now, who knows?"
