Ligature Fonts
Ligature Fonts use their joining power to combine two or more letters into a single letter, which helps readers with the flow of typography. For instance, in serifed text faces, the lowercase f often collides with the lowercase i and l. To fix this, the fi and fl are often combined into a single shape (what pros would call a glyph). Ligatures in programming fonts follow a similar idea. But instead of fixing the odd troublesome combination, well-intentioned amateur ligaturists are adding dozens of new & strange ligatures.
