Trojan Text - "Fanciful"

"This style strikes me a fanciful, hence the word… Back in the late 1870s this style was called "Trojan Text." The name itself is fanciful, as there is nothing Trojan about it. But it is a text / gothic / blackletter style. More specifically I'd call it an ornamental victorian bifurcated blackletter. The style puts me in mind of faery tales and storybooks. Pencil on multi-medium vellum."
