These typefaces look like manuscript lettering prior to the invention of movable type.
These typefaces and their revivals were used for display applications between the mid 1800s and early
1900s. They have a distinct feeling of time and place.
These typefaces defy simple pigeonholing. They can look like letters cut from stencil
or decorated with fl owers, or can appear three-dimensional. Some use unorthodox
letter shapes and proportions to achieve distinctive and dramatic results.
