Caroline minuscule

Caroline minuscule is a style of writing that developed in the early Middle Ages, specifically during the reign of Charlemagne in the late 8th and early 9th centuries. This script was designed to improve readability and standardize written text across the Carolingian Empire. It features clear, rounded letters and consistent spacing, making it easier to read than earlier scripts. Caroline minuscule laid the foundation for modern lowercase letters and influenced many later scripts in Western Europe, ultimately helping to preserve and disseminate knowledge during a time of significant cultural and intellectual revival.
