Both styles are well presented. Description of each style starts with basic strokes and goes to through letter formation, inter-letter and word spacing, majuscules form and ends with analysis of common errors.
Uncial model is modernized with addition of letters not used in medieval texts (ie. j, v different to u, w) and Polish diacritic characters, letter forms are decipherable to modern reader.
Italic model is designed at 8° slant, with 45° nib angle, branching at half x-height. Ductus favours speed with push strokes on a-shapes. Ascenders are finished with ribbon serifs.
