It dawned on me yesterday that blackletter type faces unintentionally emulate the ornamented script used for official Hebrew Torah scrolls. So perhaps that's something owners of bibles printed in such a styled might be proud of.

Older examples of biblical Hebrew texts show a gradual development of this ornamentation and standardization for manuscript writing rules. Some of the Dead Sea scrolls have the sacred name written in the Paleo-Hebrew script.
