chemoelectric says

Updated 2008.02.06. Made E AE OE more similar to F (and probably less distorted relative to Kennerley).

———————————————-

Based on the roman of Frederic Goudy's Kennerley Old Style (designed and cut in 1911 for a limited edition of "The Door in the Wall and Other Stories" by H G Wells, published by Mitchell Kennerley). The companion italic is a future project.

The letters, though not condensed, may seem to fit together like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, giving text an unusually solid appearance.

I have included support mainly for Western European languages and (because I use it) Esperanto. There are some missing lower-priority characters, such as the section symbol and the daggers. Maybe I should have just copied these over from my Prociono font that also is available here at OFL. :)
