Junicode 2.000 is a major reworking of the widely used font for students
and scholars of medieval Europe (though it also serves scholars in a number
of other disciplines). This version continues to track the development of
the Medieval Unicode Font Initiative, with its wealth of specialized
medieval characters, but it also provides many OpenType features that allow
users to access MUFI characters in accessible ways.

Junicode is now an extended font family, with five weights (Light, Regular,
Medium, SemiBold, and Bold) and five widths (Condensed, SemiCondensed,
Regular, SemiExpanded, and Expanded). This makes for a large number of font
files (19 each for roman and italic, omitting a few unsuitable styles), but
the font also comes in a variable version, in which all the capabilities of
the traditional “static” version—and more!—are packaged in just two files.
The variable version is especially suitable for web use, but variable fonts
can also be used in Adobe InDesign, LibreOffice, LuaTeX, and other
text-processing apps (see the file JunicodeManual.pdf for details).

This release also includes compressed WOFF2 versions of the variable fonts
for use in web pages. These are much quicker to download than static fonts,
and they are supported by all major browsers.
