#hatcheck

Also, it has lots of blackletter-with-accent characters. That is non standard.
Most of these are in the right places. But the long-ſ-in-the-round-s-spot thing means one curiosity:
Long-ſ-with-hatcheck.
That, as far as i can tell, is not really a thing anybody has ever used.

Also, the ſt ligature isn’t really a ligature.

Also, and that is the font, it is very wide for a blackletter font.

Also, it has two Üs, for reasons.
#hatcheck #longs #ſ #longſ #blackletter

Fontforge metrics window demonstrating the features of the blackletter font Witteberger Fraktur described:
Wide set text:
»weit ſtſtÜÜ«
The first ſ has a hatcheck or caron on top, the second ſt is just as wide as the hatcheck-ſt. The dots on the first Ü are lower than those on the second.
