Artichoke
Some words from Bergsland:
Artichoke started with adding a roughened, light edge to the character widths of my popular humanist sans font families.
I was trying to create the light, airy feel of hand-scribed letters on a rough natural surface. All of this in a font that works really well for both body copy and headers. A distant ancestor of the basic letterforms is a Dutch bible font of the 19th century without the serifs. However, there have been many modifications to a more modern sensibility.
There are many OpenType features with over 600 characters: Caps, lower case, small caps, ligatures, discretionary ligatures, swashes, small cap figures, old style figures, numerators, denominators, accent characters (including CE), ordinal numbers (1st-infinity: lining and oldstyle), a ballot box, and so on.
It is designed for text use in body copy. But it makes very pretty headlines also.
