What changed04
Q

A new tail

The centred vertical bar read as the Quake logo. It is now a diagonal stroke crossing the bowl, held at a fixed −52° so the angle never drifts with weight.

g

Long stem by default

Previously tucked away in ss02. The accented forms — ğ ĝ ġ ģ — follow automatically.

&

Open ampersand

The “et” form, previously ss04, is now the default and keeps its own width and kerning.

ff

A tucked ff

New in v1.4, drawn after the fi: first arm trimmed, one fused crossbar. Until now the two f were kerned apart to hide the clash.
