American Uncial is a contemporary interpretation of the ancient uncial letterforms that flourished in medieval manuscripts from the 4th to 8th centuries. This typeface preserves the characteristic rounded, majuscule forms of traditional uncials while adapting them for modern typographic applications. The letterforms feature the distinctive half-uncial construction with rounded bowls, minimal stroke contrast, and the absence of traditional ascenders and descenders. Its design maintains the calligraphic heritage of pen-drawn letters, offering a bridge between historical authenticity and contemporary readability.
