A blackletter display face by John Studden with rounded corners that soften the traditional Old English form and improve legibility, supplemented by OpenType stylistic alternates.
About
New English takes the classic Old English blackletter structure and applies rounded corners throughout, producing a less severe appearance than conventional sharp-edged cuts. Stylistic alternates are included and can be swapped automatically in OpenType-aware applications. The character set covers numbers, full punctuation and accented characters.
Classification
Old English / blackletter style typeface with rounded corners added for a softer, more legible appearance. The rounded terminals distinguish it from traditional sharp-edged blackletter forms.
