Hispania Script was published by HiH. Hispania Script consists of 1 design. p > Hispania Script is a distinctive and definitely nineteenth century script. It was launched by Schelter & & Giesecke of Leipzig, Germany around 1890. Especially noteworthy are the sharply-pointed legs of the upper case 'K' & &' R' that seem to be particular of the duration. Similar strokes, often with a minor curve, might be seen in typefaces like Alt-Romanish and Tinteretto by Schelter & & Giesecke, Artistic and Lateinsch by Bauer and Berthold and the poster lettering of Edward Penfield.

The angle of this script (around 24 degrees) and the sharp delicate points should have made the manufacture of this face in metal type an obstacle. The resulting type was most likely quite fragile and based on unintentional damage. In addition, the sharp points would undergo wear. With digital type, these concerns are gotten rid of. As far as I know, no one has ever dropped a digital letter on the flooring. However, creating a digital summary for a typeface like Hispania Script, with many crossing strokes, can be quite time-consuming. Even with a precise scan of a great quality initial, it is typically necessary to build each crossing stroke individually and then eliminate the overlap in order to acquire a sharp and convincing intersection. Steep internal angles are typically defined with 2 points, instead of one, to reduce ink or toner fill that can muddy the rendering in smaller sizes.

Like all formal scripts, Hispania Script is always helpful for announcements and invitations. However, the distinctiveness of this style strongly suggests that there are other applications that might gain from its usage. Step outside package and try it in some unexpected locations. It is the unforeseen that frequently draws a person's eye.
