I'm designing an Odia font based on old letterpress types from early
1900s. Matching Latin isn't exactly necessary but would be nice to have.
Those old printers used a variety of Latin types to match the same Odia type (some even sans serifs) but I believe the one in my example is keeping well with the classic looks. I need an old style serif font ideally OFL licensed so I can incorporate the Latin glyphs in my font (which will be OFL licensed). I think Horey Old style or Revival 555 suit but I can't find a suitable Libre alternative except Goudy Bookletter 1911. Any suggestions appreciated.

Copy, paste, and autotrace.
Or draw from scratch.
This new book may help.
I ultimately decided to use Wollstonecraft Romance after editing and slanting the 'e' myself.
