These are counted-stitch letters that I created from my calligraphy books. Uncials were used in the 4th-9th century as both uppercase and lowercase letters, but continued to be used as capital letters much later into the Middle Ages. Half-uncials were used from the 6th century on as lowercase letters until replaced by gothic letters.
The Uncial letters have a main body of 7 stitches high with 3 more for ascenders and 3 more for descenders. The Half-Uncial letters have a main body of 5 stitches high with 3 more for ascenders and 2 more for descenders. You are free to download the design and symbol information for personal use, but please keep the copyright information attached. See the Usage page also. Charts copyright 2001 by Carol Hanson. |
