Yes, but when humanist type was invented, humanist script had already been used in illuminated manuscript. Thanks for the provocation though – it prompted me to take a closer look at the history and I think I may have been wrong to bring up the association to early Christianity. Indeed blackletter is the script of early Christianity and humanist script more indicative of the return to antiquity and the resulting cultural revolutions. So, there are actually 3 periods that are evoked by such typefaces – the late Roman and Carolingian eras, the early Renaissance, and the early 20th century's recontextualization of that aesthetic.
