What font was Lord of the Rings written in?

J.R.R. Tolkien did not use a specific font to write *The Lord of the Rings*. He wrote it in his own handwriting, which was a mix of different scripts and styles.

However, the font used in the original published editions was Monotype Baskerville**, designed by John Baskerville in the 18th century. This font was chosen for its elegance and readability, and it remains the standard font for many editions of the book today.

It's important to note that while Tolkien used a specific script for the Elvish languages in the books, he did not use a specific font for the English text he wrote.
