Dehuti

Newest version, 8/23/2016.

Dehuti /de.ˈhuː.tiː/, formerly Tehuti, is a modern font predominantly based off Dwiggins’ Electra. The change from T to D in the name reflects the actual pronunciation of Tehuti, as the T is actually Ṭ (D) in Kheimian. Also, given that this version has had significant alterations to its design, making it more like Electra, as well as quite a few additions and program fixes, it is essentially a new font; thus, the name change. Overall, Dehuti became what I had tried to achieve with Tehuti - a harmonized font in all aspects. One such aspect is my approach to the design of the Greek and Cyrillic glyphs, which have a more Latin-like feel. Others are the additional characters, such as the hash tag, the math symbols, the arrows, et cetera, all of which are balanced with the lowercase and numbers. Also, the italicized a’s mirror the regular a’s, so as to be easily distinguished by the various languages that use them. All extra features, including alternate characters, et cetera, are available via open type tables. For those programs without access to open type, all characters are in the Private Use Area at the end of the font. Since Dehuti is a Unicode font, I will update it on occasion, so check back for newer versions.

Notes: 1) The modifier letters are set at the optimal height for text; they are not superiors, but numerators, meaning that if you need to add additional letters to text use the numerator table, i.e., for abbreviations as in 5th, 1ère, and so on. The standard superiors are set for math. 2) Dehuti has a large m-height to accommodate multiple combining diacritics, i.e., it’s a smaller point size — 16 point is approximately equal to 10 point in most fonts. 3) A fontlog is included that lists the code points for additional characters.
