Historical note:
Like the Chancery hand, this
was a hand used primarily within the courts of the Common
Pleas and King's Bench for official documents, from the
early fifteenth century onwards. However, it came to be
used by lawyers and clerks in general for both official
and personal materials.
This typeface can also be ordered as part
of the A New Newe Booke
of Copies collection.
