I am a HUGE fan of Bernard Cornwells The Saxon Stories. Ever since a television series has been made, the series of books is also know as The Last Kingdom.
I have read them all, at break-neck speed and I cant wait for the next book!! Wintanceastre (Winchester) is based on a 10th century Latin manuscript.
I have tried to stay close to the original letters, but since Latin does not have all modern glyphs, I found myself designing the missing ones.
So, before you scold me for having made a font that is historically inaccurate: it was never meant to be an exact replica, nor would anyone want an exact replica, as it would be useless for modern texts and designs.
More Wintanceastre comes with a whole bunch of ligatures and alternate glyphs.
Use it for any design that needs a little Dark Ages look!
