The font came with "GST/GSP" Publisher or Designworks in the 1990s. I bought both packages then and we have been using the font for over 25 years, mostly converted to images on web pages or titles on printed "hobby kits".

Mike Charness's Huntsville, AL-based foundry used to offer a huge number of handwriting fonts, and thousands of other fonts at rock bottom prices, in all font formats. It stopped selling fonts to end users or licensing fonts for redistribution in 2003, but continues OEM work.

GAELIC It's one of those ironies of letterform history that the Italian hands used in manuscripts of the Dark Ages were best preserved against the pillaging Norse by the monasteries of Ireland, and we are thus induced to think of the Irish when we see their letterforms. Gaelic is loosely based on them. It suggests the broad pen and simpler, more open letterforms used in uncial manuscripts, rather than the denser, more elaborate manuscript hands of the later Middle Ages on which Guttenberg based his black-letter fonts.
