1619 Expediee

This font was created inspired from an unreadable French solicitor’s document dated 1619, written in the special style so named “Civilité expédiée”, a quick dashed hand derivated from the more formal “Civilitée” and under the influence of the blackletter style. We have worked to transform the absolutly illegible original form into a contemporary more usable typeface, but atempting to keep as closely as possible the time appearance and particularities, like the special small e and h, or the R. It is containing Western (including Celtic) and Northern European, Icelandic, Baltic, Eastern, Central European and Turquish diacritics. The numerous alternates and ligatures made the font looking like a real various hand.
