The idea was to do a typeface which creates a dark text block on the page. It seemed worth a try to combine elements of fraktur and roman type, like the first roman with blackletter legacy by Sweynheym & Pannartz, or private press types cut around 1900. And like with early italic types, Litteratra's italic lowercase are accompanied by roman uppercase. This suggested to include italics in the regular font. With a set of italic lowercase, small caps, spaced uppercase, titling uppercase, with standard and discretionary ligatures, contextual alternates, with oldstyle and lining numerals, both proportional and tabular, with superiors, inferiors and arbitrary fractions (more than 1900 glyphs), Litteratra may be described as a family in one font. The name Litteratra is a ligature of "littera atra", dark letter. true
