       @trinsec @freemo to me it almost looks like it’s going towards the traditional s in Germanic

       @barefootstacheYes I agree it looks identical to the archaic “long s”. Though I think modern readers would identify it as an f especially with the cross.@trinsec

       @freemoFrom what I gathered when comparing the long s and f in historical texts is that the main difference was that the f usually had the horizontal line, which we still see today.@trinsec
