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.

Historical note:
The Romans perfected the ‘Square Capitals’ majuscule
which, in written form (Quadrata or Written
Square Capitals), was used from around the 2nd
century AD. If used for whole documents then it was
usually written without word spacing or punctuation; by
the medieval period, its use was restricted to displayed
matter. The square style was highly legible and, when used
in inscriptional form (Capitales Monumentales), became the
standard by which legibility is still judged today. Note
the letters F and L rise above the line.
