Parallel Histories font
I never posted this before, but I figure it’s never too late. This typeface comes from the handwriting of Juan de Yciar of Spain, circa 1600 C.E. The book that these scans came from is in the Library of Congress, and it is easily one of the greatest looking pieces of handwriting I have ever seen.
Over 80+ pages of this scribal penmanship, beautifully illuminated and decorated, with gilt images and touches of flair throughout. It would seem to be appropriate for a great Spanish love story, but it’s actually quite mundane 
Since it is Spanish, there were quite a few letters that didn’t exist, such as the maguscule and miniscule K, which is a sound that it taken care of by the letter Q in that language. (And look at that Q! That’s the non-swash variant!)
Overall, there are something like 400+ glyphs, including a tremendous amount of ligatures and swashes that are all coded in Opentype. I’m still working on just the basic latin character set and the spacing before I can unleash it into the wild.
