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.”
