The name is a little misleading. Old English is a language from before 1100, but the lettering people call Old English is blackletter, a pen style that spread across Europe in the 1100s and was used to print the first books with movable type. In English speaking countries the style became tied to anything old and official, which is why it still appears on newspaper titles, certificates and university crests.
The letters here come from the Unicode Fraktur set, named after the German branch of blackletter.
Old English in modern culture
Blackletter took on a second life in tattoos, streetwear and Chicano lettering, where it signals pride and permanence. If that is the look you want, compare these styles with the gangster lettering and tattoo fonts pages.

Yes. Type your text and press Copy next to any style. They paste into bios, captions and messages.
Why are some Old English capitals different?
The capitals C, H, I, R and Z come from an older Unicode block, so they can look slightly different on some devices.
