Casserole specimen from OH no Type

A six-subfamily revival and expansion of Louis Minott's 1966 display face Davida, united by its signature ball terminals across Classic, Sans, Flare, Script, Blackletter and Lombardic styles.

About

OH no Type describe it as an exhaustive resuscitation of Davida, pushing the ball-terminal logic of the original into wildly divergent territory. Each of the six styles shares the same decorative DNA while offering a completely different register, from the stripped-back Sans to the ornate Lombardic. OpenType features include intelligent swash-crossbar removal, non-lining figures, case-sensitive punctuation, fractions and a set of border and textile ornaments.

Classification

Casserole is built on the bones of Davida, a heavily ball-terminal display face from 1966, and expands it into six stylistically distinct subfamilies including blackletter, script and Lombardic, all united by the same exuberant ball-terminal aesthetic.
