Looking through 15th C. manuscripts, specifically regarding the letter "e' and how the upper right marking was made, there appear to be several variations. One results in a diamond shape with extensions at the top and bottom. Variations in the precision with which contact is made with the writing surface result in different (longer or shorter) zig-zag shapes, Premature loss of contact results in a sideways 'U' shape.
Other methods of constructing the "e" closure produce a reversed crescent "c" shape or a diamond shape with the extensions on the sides rather than top and bottom. And there may be other variations.
Do these other types of "e" closures belong to different variations of writing style?
