  Description     : Unicode font specifically designed for the needs of classicists, Biblical scholars, medievalists, and linguists.

>From its homepage:

"Cardo is a large Unicode font specifically designed for the needs of
classicists, Biblical scholars, medievalists, and linguists.  Since it
may be used to prepare materials for publication, it also contains
features that are required for high-quality typography, such as
ligatures, text figures (also known as old style numerals), true small
capitals and a variety of punctuation and space characters.  It may
also be used to document and discuss the features of Unicode that are
applicable to the these disciplines, as we work to help colleagues
understand the value (and limitations) of Unicode."
