I attach a sample of text typeset with the new Brill font. I used the "Rare" ligature setting that give the c+t and s+t ligatures, etc. I also used non-lining digits. Brill says that the font is modelled on Baskerville.

For this document, my fontspec setting, for use with XeLaTeX, was:

\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,
Numbers=OldStyle,
Ligatures={Rare},
AutoFakeBold=1.5]{Brill}

The Brill font is rich in diacritical marks, symbols, IPA, Greek, Cyrillic and other glyphs. It does not include Devanagari.

Best,
Dominik
