Civilité
Civilité: a type designed by Robert Granjon as a French response to the Italian italic, and based on the cursive Gothic script as used in 1558. “Granjon called the type lettre françoise d’art de main, but because the type was very popular for school books and courtesy books, with ‘De Civilitate morum puerilium libellus’ (A Handbook on Good Manners for Children) by Erasmus serving as prototype, it now is generally known as Civilité type.” — quoted from viaLibri

Remember to use only books (you can use the internet to find those books). Use the Lubalin Center, and the Cooper library (they have a ton of really unique books all the way in the back). And I use the word “rules” loosely.
