Blackball is an attractive blackletter font with ball terminals. Yes, it did take a while to think up the name!

This is a versatile font, at home equally on Christmas cards and gothic horror stories. There is some clever OpenType programming at its heart, which means ligatures, alternate characters and swash characters (69 in total) can all be set to substitute automatically as you type. What’s more, this intelligent font always checks that there is room for the alternate characters before applying them.

Have a play about with the different OpenType options to see what it can do.
