Astronomy - Enceladus - English Roundhand

"Enceladus, one of Saturn's 62 (to date) moons. Discovered in 1789 by William Herschel, the astronomer that discovered Uranus & its two moons, discovered Mimas, another of Saturn's moons, coined the term "asteroid," and discovered that nebulas are composed of stars, just to name a few of his accomplishments. Without a doubt one of the most interesting objects in our solar system. Enceladus is 314 miles in diameter and Saturn's 6th largest moon (about the same size as the State of Arizona). It is the most reflective body in the solar system. It has a global saltwater ocean underneath its water ice crust that supply water to the more than 100 geysers at its south pole. These geysers spout water vapor which helps create one the the bands in Saturn's ring system. Because of its liquid ocean rich in organic compounds, it it believe to be one of the best candidates for potentially finding life on another world.

The 3 most unique features in this English Roundhand presentation are: the enlarged n, the old-style arching stem d, and the descending s-final. Enlarging the next letter following an initial capital can create an optical step-down transition from the large scale of a cap to the following small letters. The arching-d sometimes offers flourishing opportunities not presented by a straight-stem-d; not to mention an more playful look. The descending-s was usually terminated simply just below the baseline without any loops. However, its extension can also present unique opportunities for flourishing."
