Hi,

Can anyone tell me the name (or truetype/abobe equivalent) of the attached link. It comes from a masonic notice from 1924 and was also used on a local newspaper (Malvern Gazette) around 1900/1920's.

You haven't given us much to go on - it's an uncial - closest I found on a quick search was Clairvaux - maybe that's good enough. Since your sample is so old, the actual font may not be digitized.

Close - but no cigar - I need it to be as close as possible - don't mind about it being digitized I'd just like to know the name.

Thanks for looking though

cheers

It's more a Schwabacher than an Uncial, I think. Anyway, the Schwabacher _a_ is usually single storied. Still searching.
