Briskly, this font for the fall is being newly released on September 26, 2016.
It's simply my handwriting with the slight twist which is caused by my sinister hand (I'm left-handed). It is an ASCII font, so it will work well in print and on the Web.

The companion sans is from the Aerle family of five. They work well together for headers and so on. For Aerle Thin, the hand-drawn shapes vary a lot, many pushing the boundaries of the normal character. This gives a little looseness and helps the lightness in feel I am looking for. Most new type around the world is far too perfect for my taste. While the shapes are exquisite, the feel is not human but digital mechanical. I find myself wanting to draw fonts that feel human — as if a person crafted them.

In most ways Aerle Thin is a normal font for me in that it has caps, lowercase, small caps with the appropriate figures for each case. These small caps are very small (x-height as is proper). These size variations seem important and work well in the text. This font has all the OpenType features in the set for 2009. I didn't bother with the CE accents (though I can add them upon request). There are several ligatures for your fun and enjoyment: bb gg sh sp st ch ck ff fi fl ffi ffl ffy fj ft tt ty Wh Th and more. Like all of my fonts, there are: caps, lowercase, & small caps; proportional lining figures, proportional oldstyle figures, & small cap figures; plus numerators, denominators, superiors, inferiors, and a complete set of ordinals 1st through infinity.
