799 Insular was published by GLC.
799 Insular contains 2 styles and family package options.
This font was inspired from the so called 'Insular Style' Latin script used in Celtic monasteries (Ireland, Scotland-with the well known Book of Kells-and England) from the late 6th to 9th, before the Carolingian 'Caroline' (look at our 825 Karolus). It was a regular script, rounded, written slowly, used mainly for specially meticulous books, with a very few ligatures. The rarely-used capitals consisted of enlarged lowercases, but, on the other hand, there was numerous historical initials.
The Titling style in this familly allows to two-color decorated letters to be created, using OTF Titling feature or copy and paste technique.
We have created the font as to be adapted for contemporary users, differentiating between U and V, I and J, which has not any relevance for ancient Latin scribes, and naturally with Thorn, Oslash, Lslash, K,W... The specific Celtic 'y' is added as an historical alternate.
