Introducing Qartagrafy — worn and weathered to a near-stencil, it evokes a different age, a universe that operates with a bit more magic in it.
It's as at home evoking the high seas of the 1600s as it is in branding a yoga studio or a new rustic and organic food product.
LIGATURES & ALTERNATES
Qartagraphy (pronounced "cartography") has at least one alternate for each upper and lowercase letter, s and g having as many as four.
By default, the contextual alternates and ligatures are activated in programs like InDesign, creating a truly natural variation to text. Type any letter twice in a row and you won't get the same result.
When you want to see the possible variations of a glyph in a program like Illustrator or InDesign, simply select the glyph and it will show you all the variations for that particular character.
Qartagrafy includes a large selection of Standard Ligatures and Discretionary Ligatures, allowing you to make your design truly unique.
Using the Glyphs palette is typically the best way to achieve fine control over each glyph.

WHAT'S INCLUDED
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Qartagrafy can be opened and used in any software that can read standard fonts — even MS Word. No special software is required to access the basic character set, but it truly comes alive with all the alternates and bells & whistles when you use a recent build of a program like Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign.
For those who do have OpenType-capable software: The alternates are accessible by turning on 'Stylistic Alternates' and 'Ligatures' buttons on in Photoshop's Character panel, or via any software with a glyphs panel, e.g. Adobe InDesign ,Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop CC, Inkscape.
