[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.

Try Blackadder font -- always looks old or Rennaissance-ish.
