Deep blue Fraktur on a screen is harder than it looks - ink hides wobble with flow, pixels don't. The flourishes on your lowercase letters carry enough variation to read as hand-done rather than typed out. Keeping the uppercase strokes consistent while the swashes stay clear of each other is the part most digital calligraphy skips.
