Shelley Andante v. Snell Roundhand

  • both are script!
  • Shelley is fancier... the crossbar of the A is a huge swash, whereas the A-crossbar on Snell is straight and plain
  • some of the letters are incredibly similar... Shelley has a wider setwidth, though
  • Snell has round, circular swashes, and Shelley has kind of zig-zag swashes
  • similar stress
It's a tie
