Try "Blackadder" font -- always looks "old" or "Rennaissance-ish".
Monica -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Andrew T Trembley Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2008 6:15 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] OT-ish... Tudor and Elizabethan printing I need some help (or you can translate this to "I'm feeling too lazy to do the research myself right now"). I'm looking for two things: • Fonts: anybody know any good renaissance-y fonts? I'm looking for something that is both relatively period-accurate for Tudor and Elizabethan printed books, broadsheets and handbills, and something that the less-than-educated viewer will think "Oooh, old!" when they see it. Free preferred, but feel free to recommend commercial fonts. OpenType preferred, but feel free to recommend TrueType or PostScript. • Tudor & Elizabethan printed things: Books, broadsheets, handbills and signs. Yes, of course, facsimiles preferred, and online sources preferred. At work I've got access to a number of academic online collections, so feel free to recommend restricted services; I might be able to get to them.
