Answer 2

Hi! I'm not really sure if you're looking for calligraphy...

or typefaces that were used in printed texts of the period.

So here is a whole bunch of information for you on 18th

Century type, texts, lettering, documents, samples,

some free archival and modern downloads.

I hope that it helps!
