If anyone is looking for these as usable fonts I found this french designer Gilles Le Corre - http://www.gilleslecorre.com/pages/fonts.html - who makes a lot of fonts based of old manuscripts and books.

I am so immune to background images, and did not notice it at first, but the first link's background is NSFW.


Glad they didn't impose a 5000 year copyright period back then.


I'm currently taking a coursera typography class - I'm glad I can understand some of the historical context here.


Times Old Roman?
