  • I made this, because I was bothered with the quality of the font used on the displays of the Copenhagen Metro. So this is an attempt to make a better font under the same restrictions (i.e. a display with a height of 14 LED lamps). The o - and possibly other characters - are the same as in the current font. But I made sure the M became similar to the logo of the metro. Don't mind the IPA, I just went a bit wild...

Ooh, pretty. Although I don't see the Metro planning to use the IPA anytime soon. xD 10/10+fav

Now with proper kerning, thanks to the new feature! It really suits this font to be kerned. I may have kerned it a little tight, but that is only due to pure excitement for the ability to kern.

Where's ΢?

Comment by brynda1231 6th january 2017

U+03A2 is not a valid unicode character (according to FileFormat http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03a2/index.htm). I think the point is, that it is left empty for consistency between lower and upper case Greek. If you want an upper case final sigma, my understanding is that you should use lunate sigma (Ϲ) or perhaps even a capital stigma (Ϛ). I know, I haven't included those either, but I might when I am done kerning.

I can see a smooth version of this being on Myfonts.
