font-junicode
Unicode font for medievalists, linguists, and others
The Junicode font was developed for students and scholars of medieval Europe, but its large glyph repertoire also makes it useful as a general-purpose font. Its visual design is based on the typography used by Oxford University Press in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The font implements the MUFI recommendation for encoding ligatures, alternative letter forms, and other features of interest to medievalists using Unicode's Private Use Area.
Junicode 2 is a major reworking of the font family. Its OpenType programming has been rebuilt to support the creation of searchable, accessible electronic documents using the MUFI characters. The family includes five weights and five widths in both Roman and Italic, plus variable fonts.
