Say hello to King Basil: nearly 500 glyphs, including A-Z, a-z, 0-9, tons of punctuation, 24 ligature sets, over 200 extended Latin characters for language support, entry swash alternates for all uppercase and lowercase letters, exit swash alternates for all lowercase characters ... this sucker has a ton of features!
This was the first font I loved enough to list it for sale; to celebrate King Basil's 9th birthday, I've updated this old friend for 2025! There are a number of new alternate letters, many of which were pulled from the original pen-on-paper pages, plus some new ligatures and swashes, and a lot of freshening up and updating of all characters!
King Basil now includes:
- A-Z, a-z, numbers, and tons of punctuation;
- Entry swash alternates for uppercase A-Z and lowercase a-z (mapped to Swash option);
- Exit swash alternates for lowercase a-z (mapped to Stylistic Alternates option);
- 15 double-letter ligatures;
- 24 additional alternates for specific letters;
- Over 200 extended Latin characters for language support;
- A handful of loose swashes to make things extra decorative;
- All characters accessible through character map / PUA encoded!
Note: This font was briefly known as "Spiffy McGee."
