Which classic typeface would you most like to see an open-source version of?
A lot of famous typefaces from the past have their open-source digitisations, e.g. Garamond, Centaur or Baskerville. Yet there are some still waiting for a proper open-source release. We don't have Romain du Roi, Cloister) (even though we have the beautiful Cloister initials by Goudy) or Benedictine.

Anyone have any font ideas?
The version that Octavio fixed and extended was commissioned by Google, so the original EB-Garamond intact, and now Georg is trying to merge the two versions to release the final v2.
