Technically yes, “Blackletter typefaces” would be the proper English name (“gebrochene Schriften” in German). Fraktur, however, maintains identical spelling across both languages, and is often used interchangeably with the proper term of the larger category. Of Blackletter typeface styles we primarily collect Fraktur and Schwabacher typefaces, and specifically eschew Textura.
