I feel seen.
I think the Brothers Hildebrandt Tolkien calendars of the late 1970s, which I know my father had, instilled in me a love for uncial fonts that had lasted to this day.
Even now, I have several uncial and insular-style fonts installed on my computer. I’ve had more, but that was in my Windows days, when I maxed out the number of fonts my system could handle, and I’ve been more restrained in these Linux times.
Right now I have only American Uncial (this TTF file has migrated since my Windowx XP machine) and Dalelands Uncial for uncial fonts, and Kells and Meath for insular fonts.
The clock widget on my Linux Mint desktop uses American Uncial and Kells.
