William Hoyt Worrell Calligrapher and author (1879-1952), who designed (the metal face) Worrell Uncial. McGrew writes: It was cut by Linotype from designs originally made by Dr. W. H. Worrell, who had based them on the calligraphy of a fifth-century codex or manuscript book. The font was named in honor of Dr. Worrell and first used for Coptic Texts in the University of Michigan Collection, a volume which he edited. There are also Greek and Coptic versions of the face. The alphabet itself is interesting, but the Caslon No.3 (New Caslon) figures and punctuation marks Linotype has included with the font are incongruous.
