Final version with new weights. Complete character sets, refined shapes, spacing and kerning for all styles.
October 7, 2020
This is quite a significant update. The general shapes have been refined an as a result the terminals and some complete letters have changed noticeably.
The character sets have grown to include full latin language support, punctuation, symbols, lining-, old style- and tabular figures and fractions in all styles.
There are two new styles, bold and Bold Italic bringing the total amount of weight to four with matching italics. A few more weights will still be added for the final release.
May 6, 2020
Lot's of new stuff this time. A new regular weight, finally punctuation and some symbols, so the typeface is usable for more than just headlines, language support for Westen European languages and as a cherry on the cake, italics! Oh and did I mention old style figures! Oh mama.
June 27, 2019
Added a new light master, new versions of letters K, R and Q, and alternates for K,R and a.
