With plenty of alternate glyphs and swash elements to play with, hand-lettered Duende™ also has smart crossbars, alternate consecutive characters and expanded lowercase t crossbars when OpenType features Ligatures and Contextual Alternates are enabled. Other features include case-sensitive quotes and smart apostrophes. Duende has a lighter companion, Duende Light http://crtv.mk/h0kES and both are available as a set http://crtv.mk/b0ZHw
Alternate characters Duende has an alternate for every capital letter and multiple alternate options for the lowercase including swashy terminal characters and non-connecting alternates. Also included are a few clip-on swash elements that can be used to create initial and terminal forms.
Smart crossbars Duende uses smart crossbars for common situations, unifying Af, Aft, At, Att, Aff, tt and ff with a single crossbar when the OpenType Ligature feature in on.
Smart consecutive characters The Ligature feature also ensures subtle baseline variation when two lowercase characters are keyed twice in a row.
Contextual t crossbars Enable Contextual Alternates in your OpenType menu and Duende uses bigger f and t crossbars as the surrounding characters allow.
Discretionary ligatures Enable Discretionary Ligatures for lowercase o connections.
Custom crossbars You can also make your own lowercase f and t to fit any situation combining one of the included crossbars and non-crossbar f or t characters (available as ‘Alternates for Current Selection’ when f or t is selected). Just select the crossbar you want from the glyph table as a separate text element and move it anywhere. Also included are ten tt ligatures with crossbars and one without. Duende also has a few other swashy things that can be used to cross the lowercase f and t.
Custom capitals Customize alternate capitals U, V, W, X and Y with any one of the swash options available in the glyph table for those characters.
Duende comes with both OpenType and TrueType formats.
