奧地利設計師Victor Hammer（1882-1967）於20世紀40年代居住於美國期間創作瞭American Uncial字體。此字體類似於Neue Hammer Unziale，盡管Neue Hammer Unziale實際上是此設計的後續版本。
American Uncial是一個單盒設計。大寫和小寫字母設計相同，大小相同。
1923年，Victor Hammer在德國的Klingspor Foundry發佈瞭他的第一款Uncial風格的字體。這就是所謂的Hammerschrift。” 在20世紀30年代，他移居到美國，在那裡他通過Dearborn Type Foundry發行瞭American Uncial。1953年，Victor Hammer與他的老發行商Klingspor Foundry發行瞭另一版本的American Uncial。他們將其更名為Neue Hammer Unziale。Neue Hammer Unziale不是單盒字母；它具有羅馬大寫字母和Uncial小寫字母。Linotype也具有這款字體；其Neue Hammer Unziale有兩個版本，每個版本的小寫字母都稍有不同（Neue Hammer Unziale II基本上是American Uncial的小寫字母，以及Neue Hammer Unziale I的大寫字母)。
在羅馬帝國晚期和之後的整個歐洲各地都使用瞭這種Unical字母形式。其形式啟發瞭Carolingian Miniscule (公園800年)以及我們如今的小寫字母。American Uncial是世界上最受歡迎的Uncial字體之一。在愛爾蘭和其他地方經常看到一些像“愛爾蘭”或“凱爾特”的東西。它也常用於證書和文憑。該字體最適合用於標題和大小為12pt或者更大的較短文本中。”
The Austrian designer Victor Hammer (1882-1967) created the American Uncial typeface while he was living in the United States during the 1940s. This typeface is similar to Neue Hammer Unziale, although Neue Hammer Unziale is actually a later re-release of this design.
American Uncial is a unicase design. The upper and lowercase letters have the same design, and are the same size.
Victor Hammer released his first Uncial-style typeface with the Klingspor Foundry in Germany in 1923. This was called Hammerschrift." During the 1930s, he moved to the United States, where American Uncial would be released, through the Dearborn Type Foundry. In 1953, the Victor Hammer released another version of American Uncial with his old distributor, the Klingspor Foundry. They renamed the type Neue Hammer Unziale. Neue Hammer Unziale is not unicase; it has Roman uppercase letters as well as lowercase Uncials. Linotype also has this typeface available; its Neue Hammer Unziale comes in two versions, each with a slightly different Lowercase (Neue Hammer Unziale II is basically the lowercase letters of American Uncial with the uppercase from Neue Hammer Unziale I).
The Uncial letterform was used across Europe during the time of the late Roman Empire, and thereafter as well. Its forms would inspire the Carolingian Miniscule (c. 800 A.D.), and our present lowercase. American Uncial is one of the most popular Uncial fonts in the world. It is often seen in Ireland and elsewhere for things that should look "Irish" or "Celtic." It is also a favorite for use on certificates and diplomas. The font is best used in headlines and shorter texts with a point size of 12 or larger."
