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:
Whilst the origins of Rustic Capitals (Capitales Rusticæ)
probably predate Written Square Capitals (Quadrata),
both hands were mostly in contemporaneous use from the early centuries
A.D.. If
used
for whole documents then it
was usually written without wordspacing or punctuation; by the medieval
period, its use was restricted to displayed matter. The subtle, sigmoid
curves of the oblique strokes have a more calligraphic appearance than
quadrata. Note
the letters
B and F rise above the line.
