A flared display typeface by Marcus Sterz that blends Victorian decorative sensibility with Optima-style terminals and Bodoni-like contrast, complemented by an Ornaments layer and 102 discretionary ligatures.
About
Three subfamilies — Regular, Ornaments and the combined Regnaments — allow colour layering effects typical of Victorian chromatic type. The extensive OpenType feature set includes small caps, oldstyle and tabular figures, fractions and a striking 102 discretionary ligatures, many centred on T and L combinations. Despite its decorative character, the foundry notes it remains legible at text sizes.
Classification
A flared, high-contrast display typeface drawing on Optima's flared terminals and Bodoni's stark stroke contrast, with a Victorian decorative sensibility. The Ornaments subfamily and 102 discretionary ligatures place it firmly in display territory.
