Matthew Carter’s revival of the hand of the early eighteenth century English writing master George Shelley, first issued by Mergenthaler Linotype in 1972. “The musical terms Andante, Allegro and Volante were chosen by Carter to describe the mood of the three different cuts of his font. Andante is the most reserved, Allegro has a few more flourishes, and Volante’s capital letters are surrounded with swirling strokes.” [MyFonts] Linotype’s OpenType versions merge the three stylistic variants into one font. There’s also a separate Cyrillic version.

Bitstream’s version is named English 111. There, the three degrees of flourish are named Adagio, Vivace, and Presto.
