Uncial Script

Uncial script is an ancient style of writing used from the 4th to 8th centuries, primarily in Latin and Greek manuscripts. Characterized by rounded, uniform letters with no sharp angles, it features capitalized characters often written in a single line with minimal spacing. Originally designed for clarity on parchment or vellum, uncial was commonly employed for religious texts, such as Bible manuscripts, and contributed to the development of later medieval scripts. Its elegant and legible form has influenced various calligraphic styles and remains appreciated for its historical and aesthetic significance.
