Uncial font character set

Second round of development on the new Uncial Display font and working through expanding the character set. This family is derived from a typgraphy sample from the early 20th Century and although a true Uncial does not have lower case characters, this sample contained a set that I am including in this face. The additional work is including some limited punctuation and several ligatures to enhance the feature set.

Pride & Prejudice, p.1 in Uncial sample script

Above is a sample typeset of the font, using the first page from Jane Austen’s masterwork, Pride & Prejudice. 

We are hoping to release this font within the next month, so follow along here and at our social channels, below.
