Fraktur font found on medieval German buildings.

The Teyvat Script (unofficial name) (also implied to be the common script) is the writing system that appears in the open world in Teyvat, especially in Mondstadt and Liyue, as well as in Tutorial images. It is likely to be the universal script across Teyvat.

The letters appear to be a mirrored and broken up version of Fraktur, a font that was typical for medieval Germany and that was still in use up until the early 20th century. As such, many of the letters are seemingly upside-down, mirrored Latin letters. This script is generally used to write English words and sentences, but unlike English, there appears to be no distinct letter case or punctuation. Spaces are optional, as is a character that is identical to the letter "A," but written lower and closer to the previous character, that is inserted when a sentence continues to the next line.
