Kris J. Udd has created a beautiful collection of fonts that imitate the writing styles of
ancient scribes in a series of important ancient Greek texts.

These fonts follow the basic key-mapping of the BibleWorks Greek font, with a few
exceptions. Each letter appears on the appropriate key both in the lower and upper case. A
balance has been sought between using the letter forms most common to a particular
inscription and showing the variety of letter forms that appear in it. In some cases this has
proven particularly difficult due to the number of letters and shapes employed by an ancient
scribe.
