I really like IM Fell English and IM Fell DW Pica, both originally designed by John Fell in the 1600′s and digitized by Igino Marini.

Marini’s THE FELL TYPES and some revival fonts page has some background and history:

The Fell Types took their name from John Fell, a Bishop of Oxford in the seventeenth-century. Not only he created an unique collection of printing types but he started one of the most important adventures in the history of typography. You will find here a non-exhaustive history and a modern digitalization of some of them.

Here is a sample of the IM Fell English web font:

I think these will be perfect when we add text mode to the IA bookreader!

Since pressing all the buttons on the laptop below did not produce any tasty edibles (just beeps and burps), Zara has decided to perform for her treats!
