Flotner

The images are from an alphabet designed by Peter Flotner in 1534 (That's the year, not the hotel room).

All the characters are available in the lower-case set; some alternative characters are in the upper-case set and in numerals 1-6.

In total, there are one of each character, except as follows:
4 each E and N
3 each A and M
2 each B, D, G, I, K, O, R. S, V, W

The characters are from the image found at

They were imported into Scanfont, and the resulting font brought into Fontlab 4.5 for some minor cleaning and kerning. Note that there are a number of artifacts resulting from the original scan and the Scanfont conversion which have not been removed.

Recommended sizes are 14-72 points.
At sizes smaller than 14 point, you can't see the detail, and than about 72 the image starts to break up.
