I just saw that FontFont has released an OT update to Nick Shinn‘s Oneleigh.
For those unfamiliar with Mr. Shinn’s work I definitely recommend checking out his type catalogue (via Fontshop). Mr. Shinn’s catalogue is quite impressive and daunting to the neophyte type designer like myself. I am particularly smitten with his Modern Suite—the Figgins Sans and Scotch Modern. It is one of the nicest super families I’ve seen, plus Scotch Serifs are becoming trendy.
Enough bald flattery. The point of this post is the OT update to Oneleigh. Oneleigh’s opentype features, I believe, highlight what will eventually be the norm for font development. Many fonts now include proper small caps, but features like discretionary ligatures, lining figures, ordinals, and proper fractions are becoming expected. The Oneleigh OT update has all these and more. Definitely worth checking out.
