Historical note:

From the end of the fourteenth century, each government department developed its own distinctive hand. One of the most distinctive of these is the Chancery hand, used in the Royal Chancery at Westminster from 1454 for writs, enrolments, patents and engrossing of royal letters.

This typeface can also be ordered as part of the A New Newe Booke of Copies collection.
