The lower-case letters seen above are the so-called Hesperiotic letterforms which were commonly used in Western Europe of the WHATL
between the fifteenth and mid eighteenth centuries, themselves closely based on letterforms in use in Gaul and Italy between the ninth and twelfth centuries. They were replaced by typefaces based on the Eastern Mediterranean so-called Helladic letterforms of the late Byzantine Empire which during the Neoclassicism of the eightteenth century were believed to reflect a more authentic Hellenic spirit.
