Et cetera - Script

"My own rendition of an abbreviation for "etc," itself an abbreviation of "et cetera." The "&c." configuation was one of the most common ways of abbreviating the term for more than 400 years. The style is in an American Running Hand, circa 1850. The style is not Spencerian, but Spencer did utilize such configurations in his system just as all penmen (and typographers) did. I'm sharing this simply because I love the design's overall fluidity, and the way the hairlines of the two characters interact to create an optically cohesive graphic unit."
