Briskly, this font for the fall is being newly released on September 26, 2016. It's simply my handwriting with the slight twist which is caused by my sinister hand (I'm left-handed). It is an ASCII font, so it will work well in print and on the Web. =====================================|||||+ The companion sans is from the Aerle family of five. They work well together for headers and so on. For Aerle Thin, the hand-drawn shapes vary a lot, many pushing the boundaries of the normal character. This gives a little looseness and helps the lightness in feel I am looking for. Most new type around the world is far too perfect for my taste. While the shapes are exquisite, the feel is not human but digital mechanical. I find myself wanting to draw fonts that feel human — as if a person crafted them.
In most ways Aerle Thin is a normal font for me in that it has caps, lowercase, small caps with the appropriate figures for each case. These small caps are very small (x-height as is proper). These size variations seem important and work well in the text. This font has all the OpenType features in the set for 2009. I didn't bother with the CE accents (though I can add them upon request). There are several ligatures for your fun and enjoyment: bb gg sh sp st ch ck ff fi fl ffi ffl ffy fj ft tt ty Wh Th and more. Like all of my fonts, there are: caps, lowercase, & small caps; proportional lining figures, proportional oldstyle figures, & small cap figures; plus numerators, denominators, superiors, inferiors, and a complete set of ordinals 1st through infinity.
