[Ansteorra] Recommendations for medieval fonts

[Stefan li Rous via Ansteorra]

Thanks. After sending my message I thought to look on the Ansteorra website and saw these two fonts mentioned. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make the link work to find more details, like where I could find them.

The former is Magna Carta (you can probably guess what document was studied for the hand) and is, frankly, pretty rough for reading to modern eyes, at least mine, and the latter is Kelmscott, which is pretty nice but, as I say, appears to be based on artwork by the founder of Kelmscott Press, William Morris, 19th century English designer.
