Script is an early minuscule with pre-Caroline features: open a is more common than minuscule a; d has two forms; ligatures include ti (for soft ti), tu, and ui formed with a suprascript u prolonged to resemble a shallow s; in the uncial the cross-stroke of N is low and extends beyond the second upright. |
