So it would still look odd in a passage which also contains Greek letters as symbols. Little is known about the history of Old English Text, provided here by Monotype Typography, but it has been beautifully made. That gives a nice Greek output - but with a significantly different look to the standard standard Greek letters used by the CM symbol font (compare alphas, for example).
The Frakturs have an x that looks like an r with a mysterious disease, and the Blackletters have fiddly bits in the middle like those you see in this Old English Text. There are two main kinds of what people tend to call Gothic letters: the German Frakturs and the English Blackletter.
