Dihjau Font

This is the redrawn, now more Electra-esque text-like, bolder version of Dehuti/Dehjuti/Dihjauti, which are all now retired.

Dihjau Font, is predominantly based off Dwiggin’s Electra with shades of Fairfield, and Perpetua. It is modern and stately, and like its inspirers, it has broad counters and spacing, which temper it and give it warmth, making it comfortable and well-suited for longer texts. It is balanced in all aspects, from its punctuation to its reference marks and symbols. The italic incorporates a touch of Arrighi. It includes all transcription systems relevant to the Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek alphabets, as well as standard Coptic, plus extra characters for Teuthonista and new additions for First Nation/Indigenous languages. It also includes, to list a few, Egyptian-styled pictographs (where applicable), a plethora of mathematical symbols and arrows, and a number of alternatives in the PUA.

Notes:

1) The two versions only differ in the design of the capital Qs.

2) The superscript (superior) characters, modifier letters, and the numerators, are all part of the superscript table.

3) The bold versions of the font have some alternative/reversed characters; I did this because there is no difference in the math or punctuation symbols, i.e., the bold versions are not actually bold (with exceptions), which gives the font a better harmony.

4) The font uses anchors, which means that it will not align properly for linguistic use, or otherwise, without opentype.

5) For those interested, Open or Libre Office can access all glyphs using: Insert > Special Character.

6) The Font Log, which you can get on github, explains what this typeface includes and all additions I have added. For the most part, though, simply selecting a glyph in your font viewer should give you enough of an idea what the additions are, as they are named.
