Excellent work. Can you add the German sharp S (uppercase is in Latin Extended Additional)?

I added the sharp S (as well as the two thorns). As I've never personally used it, I'll need some input as to whether or not I've created it correctly, or if it should be narrower.

If you need guidance on creating the capital sharp S, look at my own Vipond Angular font here on FontStruct, or go to .

My previous comment contained an external link that was suppressed. I meant, go to www.typeforum.de and search for "versal".

Will my sharp S work? Or should I redo it?

The lowercase sharp S looks good. It should have an uppercase counterpart. Another good site to visit is Ralf Herrmann's opentype.info; from the Tags menu on that site, select "Capital Sharp S".

Nice work. 10/10

As someone who only uses an English keyboard I can only hope that I create glyphs like the sharp S and thorn etc correctly. Over the years no one has complained so I guess they must be ok. :)

@Screenhog: I recommend switching the lowercase and uppercase glyphs for sharp S. Otherwise, the font is perfect.
