This trick still works in Google, and it's especially useful for finding fonts: intitle:index.of Aldine cursive First result looks promising.

None of the links that come up in a SERP in my browser look at all relevant. There are many places where the words “Aldine” and “cursive” might both come up in a page. The word Aldine comes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldus_Manutius https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldus_Manutius and his press https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldine_Press https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldine_Press, and just refers to a general style of typeface.

  Aldine typefaces are sometimes called Garalde (a portmanteau of Garamond and Aldus). So it's a classification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox-ATypI_classification#Garalde https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox-ATypI_classification#Garal... As far as cursive typewriter fonts go, maybe you want something like this? https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/zephyris/marista/regular/ https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/zephyris/marista/regular/

  Yes, in Italian (though not anymore used much if not by typographers and similar) "aldino" is a synonym of "italico" (italic which is rarely used in Italian) and of "corsivo" (cursive) that is the actual common name or attribute of any right inclined font, just like italic is in English. See also: http://wikivisually.com/wiki/Italic_type http://wikivisually.com/wiki/Italic_type >Manutius' type rapidly became very popular in its own day and was widely (and inaccurately) imitated. The Venetian Senate gave Aldus exclusive right to its use, a patent confirmed by three successive Popes, but it was widely counterfeited as early as 1502. Griffo, who had left Venice in a business dispute, cut a version for printer Girolamo Soncino, and other copies appeared in Italy and in Lyons. The Italians called the character Aldino, while others called it Italic. Italics spread rapidly; historian Hendrik Vervliet dates the first production of italics in Paris to 1512. It was - curiously enough - given a sort of patent in 1502
