Old English fonts

More info from Peter S. Baker

This is a pack of 19 fonts made for studying Old English — the language of Beowulf and the Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. It includes several versions of Junius (a clear, readable style), a script that echoes the handwriting of the Beowulf manuscript, and a set of decorative Anglo-Saxon capital letters, with specialist letters like insular r and s, yogh, thorn, and æ. It's handy for students, teachers, and anyone making historically flavored projects — or for anyone who just likes the look of the decorative caps.

From the designer: "fonts for Old English and Anglo-Saxon scholars (or just someone who likes the decorative Anglo-Saxon caps); Saxon/OE fonts include insular r and s, yogh, thorn, and other specialist letters. Thomas Jefferson avidly studied Anglo-Saxon and was very keen on its inclusion in the curriculum of the University of Virginia, which he founded, and which is where these fonts were produced." — Peter S. Baker, 1993–1996.
