Here below is shown the difference between Antique and Lapidars cancels. Antiqua cancels are with bold letters but lapidar are thinner. But there is the third type; Bastarður or Bastard, that means that some cancels if they broke it was possible to take letters and move between cancels, so they where combination of both Antiqua and Lapidar cancels.
