A condensed all-caps variant of Celtic. Similar to some Runics, but with less contrast. Credited to Barnhart Brothers & Spindler c.1882 [Reichardt 2011] but carried by many American foundries. The wider Celtic is sometimes listed as Norman.

Norman Italic (with lowercase) was patented April 26, 1881 by Phemister, Pierce, Converse for Dickinson. [Saxe 2015]
