I created a font similar to this years ago, a design adjacent to some exhibits found online, but it suffered from inconsistencies and was lost for one reason or another. It was one of my favorite designs and I'm so happy to have it back, now with a more proper looking lowercase! Please enjoy

Another "genre" font, this one for the invaluable old style vampire people. BTW, sinople is the name of the green colour in heraldic.

====[ EDUCATIVE INTRO ]====

At a time when making books was a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process, an increasingly literate 12th-century Europe required more and more books. To keep up with the increasing demand for the spread of literature was a ongoing struggle. Writing materials such as inks, dyes and parchment were very expensive. And it wasn't until the 15th century, when parchment was largely replaced by paper, along with the arrival of the printing press, for it to gradually became cheaper, faster and less labor-intensive.

So it made perfect sense to find other ways to help with this process.
Simplifying a script and cutting back on the decorative calligraphy was the most effective way of doing this.

This led to the development of simplified variations to pre-existing bookhand scripts. One of such forms is littera textualis, categorizing within the Textualis/Textura or simply Gothic bookhand scripts group.

Littera textualis is the simplest and least calligraphic form of textualis. It was developed with just two main goals in mind, to save time and costs. The simplified letterforms could be written much quicker than the more calligraphic and luxurious variations. It offered a more cost effective and faster version to the script. It was often used for less important literary works and academic papers.

It functioned as the standard bookhand script in the Netherlands during the 14th & 15th centuries.

====[ ABOUT THIS FONT ]====

TEXTUALIS BATAVICUM - A calligraphic inspired Blackletter/Gothic bookhand script. Essentially a Textualis/Textura inspired work.
The design mainly follows the concept for a traditional form of littera textualis bookhand script as was described in the intro written above.

It remains a work in progress and I will add update info for this font in the comment section bellow.

Some character still need slight adjustments, but so far I am very pleased with the result. As you can probably notice, the uppercase characters have slight more weight than the lowercase has.

More characters follow soon.

I hope y'all like it
