Stokes, English Vernacular Script, ca 990–ca 1035, Vol. 2 (PhD Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2006)

The script is quite rough and looks rather hurried, with fairly little pen-lift and a slightly forward lean. The ink is relatively light brown, and the pen thin. Ascenders are very long and usually barbed but sometimes tapering. Minims have approach strokes and small, almost vertical feet. A pointed, teardrop-shaped a is found, and a similar form was used for æ. Concave-down d is fairly long but usually remains low, the back starting at about 40° and turning down at the tip or starting at about 45° and turning up. Round and horned e are found, both squinting and with rising tongues. The tail of g is usually closed in a fairly long, somewhat angular oblong which is angled at about 60°, but later on the tail remains open. The shoulders of h, m, and n are somewhat rounded. Tall s was used throughout, the curve of the hook joining the vertical somewhat clumsily at ascender-height in a form somewhat like that of G.816-1 or G.39-3. The back of ð is long and vertical-tipped; the through-stroke is thin and hooked down. Straight-limbed dotted y is the most common, but the round dotted form is also found.
