MonotypeCorsiva

According to the website fonts.com, the font was created by Patricia Saunders. The inspiration for this font was started very early on in the history of type design, the elaborate swashbuckling letter forms of early type were a quality  incorporated into monotype corsiva. Corsiva was heavily influenced by the work of Ludovico Vicentino degli Arrighi, an italian scribe. Arrighi’s contribution to typography in Rome was huge in the Renaissance period, resulting in modern typographers emulating his work. In the twentieth century,  Monotype Corporation commissioned the typographer Patricia Saunders (also known for her work on the Arial font) to produce a typeface suitable for formal purposes. Monotype Corsiva was born and released in 1995.
