1536 Civilite Handbook is a grunge, historical and script font released by GLC Foundry.

This typeface was developed motivated from a handwritten copy of the "Short story of the 2nd journey in Canada" (1535) by French explorer Jacques Cartier. It is an early "Civilité" manual style, carefully looking like the "Civilité" script font sculpted by Robert Granjon a few years later and still highly affected by blackletters types, plainly visible in the capitals or long s, d, e, f or t forms. (Take a look at our "1557 Civilite Granjon Pro" and the current "1638 Civilite Handbook"). It is containing Western (including Celtic) and Northern European, Icelandic, Baltic, Eastern, Central European and Turquish diacritics. Historical kinds, titling alternates and the many lower alternates or ligatures made the typeface looking like a genuine different hand.
