Ghaslight is a generative blackletter type system. Built on traditional elements of Textura, Fraktur, Rotunda, Schwabacher and 21st century gangster and graffiti lettering, the Ghaslight font is a set of medieval street styles for the modern age.
This groundbreaking font features a first-of-its-kind, automatic, real-time and manual glyph composition system for virtually infinite letter variations. This single font contains over 30 unique alphabets in the form of seven Stylistic Sets and Stylistic Alternates which each provide initial, medial, final and swash letter forms. Using Stylistic Alternates, Ghaslight can produce virtually infinite variants of these forms automatically, as you type, or you can build your own letters using the glyphs window. For each letter, there are between hundreds and thousands of possible forms. The font also includes a full compliment of numbers, symbols, punctuation, accented characters, kerning pairs and ligatures.
Ghaslight is a single, standard OpenType (.otf) font. No special software or plug-ins are required to use it. The primary 30+ alphabets will work in nearly any app. Support for OpenType features varies from one application to another. Real-time glyph composition is supported in Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Affinity Designer and more and support is spreading.
