Details

Description:
Clone of Prometheus Light (Basic Set), which is based on condensed Grecian typefaces by Darius Wells and William Hamilton Page. Many Grecian wood type samples lack lower case characters or numerals (or both!)... hence my sampling of different sources.

After several modifications, this FontStruction has become so big that I had to split it in two to make downloading possible! The Basic Set (this half) features all of the Basic Latin and More Latin (a.k.a. Latin-1) characters, while the Extended Set has all of the Extended Latin A and several Extended Latin B characters (Latin-based diacritics for the Central European, West European, Baltic, and Romanian languages, plus special characters for Croatian, Slovenian, and Livonian, among others).

Thanks, Stephen, and thanks to those who have voted! I just updated the cedillas and ogoneks, which were a bit weak in their original versions.

Thanks, intaglio. I see you've got a slab or two in your own (quite prolific) repertoire!

Thanks, Axel. Right now I am updating Prometheus Light by doubling the size of the grid. Then it will be this one's turn. After that I plan to make the bolder weights. Prometheus has become a rather big project! :-D

One of my favorites. Can't wait to see the heavier weights.

Prometheus is back, after my struggle to re-size it (special thanks to Stephen Coles and Rob Meek!). It is now split in two just like Prometheus Light, so don't forget to check out the other half. :-)

Update: I finally adjusted the wordspace character for both halves of Prometheus.

I made some adjustments to the lowercase, after running into trouble with Prometheus Bold.

Here is the s, before and after:

@SquarePeg You're probably aware of this but just in case, here's a nice example of Prometheus in use (via Font_ID)

Thanks, Rob! I was *not* aware of this at all... And you just made my day!!! This is the first time I've seen something I made here in use! :-)
