This typeface, a (semi)connected blackletter script, was inspired by some lettering I did in the fall of 2023. It snowballed into a beast of a project, but it taught me a lot! Posthumous is available now from my type foundry, Prologue Type.
Working on this face has forced me to learn so much more OpenType feature writing than I ever knew existed. But now Contextual Alternates and I are best friends :)
And of course it’s a variable font, too.
Original lettering that inspired this typeface, plus calligraphic tests of what the capitals might look like.
