The Scotch Romans were one of the most secondhand letters throughout the 19th and early 20th century, but they do not have their own location in the primary typographical categories. They appeared at the beginning of the 19th century with Pica No. 2 in the brochure of William Miller (1813) and assumed the British path towards high contrast and vertical axis modern-day Romans. In truth, they were called simply Modern. In opposition to the continental route of Fournier, Didot, and Bodoni, the English way chose a wider, more readable letter also resistant to bad printing conditions.
The name Schotis comes from the misspelling of Scottish that gave the name to a popular dance in Madrid in the 19th-century. It first was called Schotis and today is knows as Chotis.
