History did something unexpected: the clearer script is actually the older one! Carolingian script (8th-10th century) was airy, calm, and readable - almost familiar to modern eyes But medieval Europe gradually adopted Gothic script (12th-15th century) because parchment was expensive, and scribes needed to squeeze more words onto every page, especially as universities expanded. Letters narrowed, words crowded together, And Gothic script was born: dense, angular, economical. Then, after the invention of printing, Europeans fell in love with clarity again and returned to the elegance of Carolingian-inspired lettering. Fun fact: “Gothic” script was not created by the Goths. The label was coined much later during the Renaissance for a style many humanists considered uncivilized.
