Some CJ Roundhand Ligatures

Roundhand, regardless of the variant, is a durable and attractive cursive style on its own. But over the centuries it was the primary everyday form of writing, folks came up with some shortcuts: ways of putting two (or more) letters together and treating them as one. In other words, ligatures.

CJ Roundhand doesn't use a lot of ligatures, but these four have been folded in from the start. That they were also common during roundhand's heyday demonstrates how useful they can be.
