A librarian here just passed on a note to me that Brill have opened access to their new typeface. It is supposedly full of IPA and diacritics as well as Greek and Cyrillic.
We all know the type of thing Brill publish, so one might expect it to be grundlich, even if I haven't seen it yet myself.

“The Brill†Typeface Publishing News - Publishing News Date: 2011, August 19
After careful consideration, Brill has taken the initiative of designing a typeface. Named “the Brillâ€, it presents complete coverage of the Latin script with the full range of diacritics and linguistics (IPA) characters used to display any language from any period correctly, and Greek and Cyrillic are also covered. There are over 5,100 characters in all. This indispensable tool for scholars will become freely available later this year for non-commercial use. You will be able to download the font package after agreeing to the End User License Agreement. “The Brill†is available in roman, italic, bold, and bold italic, with all necessary punctuation marks and a wide assortment of symbols. It will be especially welcomed by humanities scholars quoting from texts in any language, ancient or modern. “The Brill†complies with all international standards, including Unicode. John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks, well-known for his multilingual fonts, is the Brill’s designer.
