If you take a look at her printed signature, it bears a striking resemblance to the blog's title font, which is called... "Jane Austen."

Found in "The Holy Bible: Volume One, Genesis to Deuteronomy" edited by Adam Clarke. Published by Carlton and Porter, 1860. (The book won't fit on the scanner bed, for what it's worth, it's a plain leather binding)
