M. Lindenthal’s Wieynk-Kursiv (1999) contains most of the ligatures (but not ‘Cie Dr Fl Th’), the long ‘s’, the descending ‘z’, and, in a second font, the simpler glyphs for ‘A B O Q R’ as used in sizes up to 28pt as well as the alternate ampersand. No digital version seems to include the Roman numeral ‘I’ nor the standalone swashes and leave ornaments.
Wieynck-Initialen is an accompanying set of swash initials (A–Z), included in the Letraset adaptation (as Phyllis Initials) as well as in the digital versions by Linotype, Elsner+Flake, and URW.
