Note: this is a Capital Set; it deviates
from our standard fonts in that only a single Modern
font is provided - no ancient font or lower-case
characters exist as these were not in use at the time of
the original scripts. However, with these exceptions a
complete modern character set is provided, including all
punctuation, foreign and accented characters.

Information]
Historical note:
Whilst the origins of Rustic Capitals (Capitales
Rusticæ) probably predate Written
Square Capitals (Quadrata), both hands were
mostly in contemporaneous use from the early centuries
A.D.. If used for whole documents then it was usually
written without wordspacing or punctuation; by the
medieval period, its use was restricted to displayed
matter. The subtle, sigmoid curves of the oblique strokes
have a more calligraphic appearance than quadrata.
Note the letters B and F rise above the line.
