Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby. This was not the same building of which the stately ruins still interest the traveller, and which was erected at a later period by the Lord Hastings, High Chamberlain of England, one of the first victims of the tyranny of Richard the Third, and yet better known as one of Shakspeare’s characters than by his historical fame.

About

Amalta is based on the designer’s own calligraphic studies using a flat brush. Overlapping strokes and terminals are characteristic for Amalta. It features powerful black shapes and vivid counterparts.

There are alternative characters with swashes in Amalta which can be applied with the help of OpenType or manually. Swash alternates in both Cyrillic and Latin have their historical prototypes in Medieval scripts.
