I'm on the process os starting a new multimedia CD-ROM for a XII century subject. It will be about the Templarios(Knights Templar) presence in Portugal on the XII century.

Does anyone Know any good references on articles & the typography used on those days? Is there any font inspired on that century/subject?

Check this info source:

Thanks in advance :-)

See this Harvard article for some information on Medieval Scripts. Since you are pre-dating printing with type, I think this is the sort of writing you will need to re-create. The Scriptorium is a place whre you may find fonts based on early scripts.
