Anglo-Saxon Caps Font

Anglo-Saxon Caps, by Peter S. Baker, is a free insular display font with the tall, carved look of early medieval lettering. The letters mix broad, stately curves with sharp wedge-like joins, and that contrast gives the alphabet a manuscript-meets-stone character rather than a slick modern polish.

It makes sense on book covers, historical posters, museum graphics, title cards, and chapter openers where a free font can carry an old English or pre-Norman mood without feeling like blackletter. Use it for short headlines, monograms, or decorative initials too, because the caps have enough ritual weight and unusual silhouette to do the work in just a few letters.
