Junicode 2 is a radically rebuilt version of the widely used free font for medievalists, linguists, and specialists in many academic disciplines. Junicode 2 features full compliance with the recommendation of the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative, version 4.0, plus later additions and revisions, and its OpenType programming has been rebuilt with a view to promoting accessibility and searchability in web pages and other electronic document formats.
The Junicode 2 font
- has the same character set in all faces;
has five weights (Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold) - and five widths (Regular, SemiCondensed, Condensed, SemiExpanded, Expanded);
includes a ttf-flavored variable font with three axes: width, weight, and the custom Enlarge axis;
has improved outlines, - an expanded collection of small caps (covering all case-paired characters),
- a more comprehensive set of anchors for mark positioning,
- and an expanded collection of OpenType features—carefully chosen and organized to promote the display of accessible text.
