Plethora specimen from Sudtipos

A nine-weight old-style serif inspired by Julius Herriet's patented Old Style Ornamented ligatures for the Bruce Type Foundry.

About

Plethora extrapolates Herriet's unique connecting ligatures, where letters carry small top tails that link them together, into a full variable family with additional interconnected letters and alternates. True to its name, it means a large or excessive amount, reflected in its extensive ligature system.

Classification

Inspired by Julius Herriet's patented Old Style Ornamented type for the Bruce Type Foundry, distinguished by top-tailed connecting ligatures across nine weights.
