Welcome to Samantha. I think this is her first exchange envelope but I could be wrong. It is a nice layout and we're all happy to see another troll. This one will be fun to do if I decide to use envelopes I have received when I send the next month's exchange envelope. This assumes the person signs up again.
There are an infinite number of styles so this might get complicated. There are also a couple styles that I will not include because I don't like them. Gothicized italic is one of them. I've never been able to put it into words, I simply don't like it and I won't even post it on my blog. If you don't know it, go ahead and Google it. It's pretty - but I just don't like it.
One style that will be tricky on the chart is italic. Italic is not just one thing. It has a multitude of variations. For now, we will just leave it as one style and we'll deal with variations later.
Here's my preliminary list of styles:
Runes
Uncial
Blackletter
Italic
Copperplate
Neuland
Romans - a basic non-serifed set of capital letters
Foundational - the basic non serifed lower case letters
Serifed lettering
Brush script - pointed brush
Brush script - flat brush
Fonts - this category has an infinite number of styles

These were added very late in the day that this post popped up.

Carolingian
Versals
Handwriting
Ruth sent me some photos of several tools that were not on my list - so - this topic is to be continued.
