Chancery Script
Category
|
Date: 18 May 2012 |
The chancery script or hand was developed in the 15th century for the exclusive use of the Vatican chancery and became known as the Cancelleresca or Chancery hand. The main characteristic of this script was the upright capitals combined with a sloping lower case. The ascenders were terminated by either a round kern or a flag. The circular ampersand was introduced plus features such as the curved leg of the lower case ëh.í This characteristic was considered by Stanley Morison to be the distinguishing feature of Chancery script. With the successful development of the Garamond and Granjon italics the popularity of Chancery rapidly declined, so today there are only a small number of these scripts in use with the most popular being the series created by Hermann Zapf. They form part of a diverse group of typefaces that have one characteristic in common, they all resemble some form of handwriting. |
