About

A true Victorian handwriting font. Don’t use the Jane Austen font to emulate Victorian or later handwriting; by the Victorian era, the pen had been invented and people no longer used quills like Miss Austen did. This was very obviously written with an actual pen rather than with a dipper, quill or biro; it comes from a letter purportedly written by the famous Englishman, Mr John D. Rypper. It is suited to any period ranging from the invention of the pen (1830) to the popularity of the biro (1965).
