This typeface was written at Madrid in 1570, by a man called Francisco Lucas. Employing the Spanish term for a cursive hand, he called it a Bastarda; but technically speaking, it is a humanistic cursive -- the style of writing which is mostly known under the name of Chancery.

There is no number sign in this font. In its place, you'll find a long s. You'll find alternatives in other places as well:

- a more swashed E instead of the left bracket

- a slender Z instead of the right bracket

- a very swashed R instead of the left curly bracket

- a final e instead of the bar sign

- a slender K instead of the right curly bracket

- as well as st and ct joined by means of a flourish on the fi and fl keys.
