As at today, the 24th of June, 2023, we have designed and built 26 of 26 lowercase letters of Festac 23' (tentative name). We will be focusing on ligatures and open type features next.

Tac is primarily designed to be a display face but look at the consistent colour in the lower paragraph over there. Coker is cooking.
