The Ns are a mixture of capitalis forms and minuscule, similarly the Es are both uncial and minuscule and the Rs are both majuscule and half-uncial. The Ls are curved, the S is majuscule and the first D has an ascender which bends to the left over a heart-shaped bow. The second D is similar except it has a rounded bow. |
