1st font ever made

MafaldaRemoaldo

Hi everyone,
I'm studying Communication Design at Fine Arts from Oporto (Portugal) and this year is all dedicated to typography. My teacher gave me this exercice to do for tuesday: to create an alfabet with different typefaces that must content fonts from different époces, authors and fisionomies. I've been searching about the earliest typefaces used (Blackletters) since Gutenberg invented the letterpress and I couldn't find the 1st font ever used. Do you have any idea of what it can be?

Thanks
