Concept
The design is built on the contrast between small condensed lowercases and large decorative uppercases that can also function as initials. The shape of the letters has numerous rough bends and hard edges, as if the royal blacksmith took a strip of iron and shaped it with a hammer. At the same time, the direction of strokes avoids geometric rectilinearity, thereby adding a human touch to the letterform.

Glyphs
Glyphs highlighted in green are not encoded with a Unicode value. These are stylistic or contextual alternates, ligatures, small caps, oldstyle or tabular figures, decorations, localized forms, Arabic initial-medial-final forms, etc. Since they don’t have Unicode values, you can’t manually copy-paste them between different applications. These glyphs can be accessed by OpenType features, or through the Glyphs panel in the graphics editors.
