- Caligrafia e tipografia góticas: factores culturais, políticos e religiosos inerentes a uma forma de letraPublication . Oliveira, SandraNo contexto actual da Europa Ocidental, a letra normalmente utilizada na comunicação visual de teor empresarial, institucional, cultural e científico, tem uma tradição formal baseada na escrita romana. Contudo, observa-se por vezes a existência de uma forma de letra diferente da romana: a letra gótica. Nesta conjuntura, supõe-se que a letra gótica seja muitas vezes associada ao lado negro da vida, à morte, a determinados estilos musicais e a certos grupos raciais, ao mesmo tempo que se lhes conjectura uma ideia de facilitismo e de ociosidade. Neste contexto, é objectivo desta investigação chegar a algumas conclusões acerca dos factores culturais, políticos e religiosos que puderam ter condicionado o desenvolvimento formal e estético da letra gótica, bem como analisar a origem e a validade dos estereótipos que, presumivelmente, lhe estão associados. Em termos metodológicos, considera-se necessária uma abordagem histórica ao tema, pelo que se recorreu ao plano cronológico, num percurso temporal que se situa entre o século IX e a primeira década do século XXI. Para se entender melhor o enquadramento actual deste tema, realizou-se uma entrevista a alguns designers que já fizeram, pelo menos, uma interpretação da letra gótica.
