==Design==
[[Image:Garamond junicode caslon.png|thumb|right|250px|
The designs of the Junicode roman characters are based on a 17th-century typeface design used at the [[Oxford University Press]], also known as Clarendon Press. Peter Baker based the Junicode roman design on those used in [[George Hickes]]' ''Linguarum Vett. Septentrionalium Thesaurus'' (1703–1705), naming the typeface Junicode ("Junius Unicode") after [[Franciscus Junius (the younger)|Franciscus Junius]], who had commissioned the original typeface used for the Anglo-Saxon texts in that volume, "Pica Saxon".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oenewsletter.org/OEN/archive/OEN40_1.pdf|author=Peter S.

The Junicode roman character design shares a number of features with these earlier and later typefaces.

==Origins and uses==
The Junicode font was developed especially for medievalists, due to the need for a font to cover the large number of special
Despite the specialization of Junicode for the needs of medievalists, the font is quite complete and supports a large number of Unicode characters. In the regular style, over 3000 characters are available. 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. It exists in regular, italic, bold and bold italic styles, with the regular style having the largest character set. Regular and bold styles have [[small caps]] and all styles have [[Swash (typography)|swash]] alternates, although not a complete set of italic swash capitals.
