This is written in the style of the 18th century writing master, George Shelley.
This style from 1709 pre-dates the production of the Copperplate "bible " The Universal Penman by about 34 years.
George Shelley wrote in the usual English Roundhand style but he also wrote in this style and there are a couple of major differences which are worth noting.
The lettering which is wider in aspect than English Roundhand, is written more upright at an angle of around 62 degrees. Also, he uses under-linked ligatures from a to n and from u to n as opposed to the usual over-linking with a loop. In the whole of the later Universal Penman I can find no other example of this practice. I, personally, like this effect as it produces more evenly balanced inter-letter spacing. The only other example I can find of this practice is in the Italic writing of Hermann Zapf.
I really like the austere cleanliness of this style.
This was written with an Esterbook 357 nib with Walker's Copperplate Ink.
