In May I bid farewell to calt. In November I welcomed it back.
ButterflyWings and OpenBook are two new typeface families that use the Opentype feature of contextual alternatives (calt) to alternate two sets of characters. Earlier in 2020 I designed several typeface using this feature, but they alternated sets of characters that fit together such as convex and concave blocks. In these new faces the alternating sets are two sides of a symmetrical object, in one case open books and the other butterfly wings. I am unaware of anyone else who has done typefaces similar to these.
OpenBook is a one-font family. The ButterflyWings family has two members, solid and outlined, that can be used in layers to add color.
