Middle English Script (historical 15thC - like Chancery Hand)

Question

Hi folks.

Bit of a difficult one but if anyone knows of any fonts that would give a reasonable reporduction of the attached source material i'd be really grateful.

It's from a 15th century manuscript.

Cheers

Answer 1

Givry is a modern interpretation of a 15th-century bâtarde flamande. It’s well-produced, with many stylistic alternates, and reasonably legible to contemporary eyes.

GLC has a number of historical facsimile fonts. I can’t vouch for their quality, but maybe 1475 Bastarde Manual or 1420 Gothic Script might work.
