Junicode ("Junius-Unicode") is a free and open-source (SIL Open Font License) old-style serif typeface developed by Peter S. Baker of the University of Virginia.
Peter Baker based the Junicode roman design on those used in George Hickes' Linguarum Vett.
It is based on the Greek Double Pica cut by Alexander Wilson (c. 1714–1786), a Scottish doctor, astronomer, and typefounder.
This makes Junicode useful for a wide range of languages that utilize the Latin alphabet, including scholarly texts and publications that require special diacritics not traditionally found in conventional fonts.
Additionally, specific packages for Junicode are available for open source systems such as Debian, Ubuntu, and FreeBSD.
