Talapanna • Derived from Goudy Bertham
Download a 7-Zip Archive.
Bold and Regular type styles: Smaller Web versions included in archive (No Petite Caps, only a few symbols).
Typeface Sample
Version 3.30 replaces the Initial Forms with Stylistic Alternates, and the former Stylistic Alternates with Character Variants.
Using a Public Domain version of Goudy Bertham, I added a full set of glyphs, and some Gothic drop capitals. Then I thought, why not add a few fancy ligatures?"
Due to the decorative drop capitals, the default line-spacing for this font is 152%. I recommend using proportional line-spacing or fixed line-spacing to reduce it.
This is how the font looks with the Coloured Stylistic Alternates. The font has regular capitals in the usual place. The bold style uses different glyphs for these.

I added OpenType features to both Talapanna, and a few more ligatures to complete the set. I remapped the Gothic capitals to a different position in the PUA for greater consistency.
The Gothic Drop Capitals can be accessed in programs that support OpenType features by using the "Initial Capitals" feature. The Bold typestyle uses a different set of Drop Capital designs.
The ligatures are now divided into two groups — ffi, ffl, fft, ffy, fty, ff, fi, fj, fl, fr, ft, fy, ky, tr, tt, ty, and longst are Standard Ligatures — cky, ck, ct, sp, st, tz, Qu, Th, AV, HE, LA, ME, NK, NT, OC, OG, OO, TL, TYcaps, TW, TTcaps, UB, and UD are discretionary ligatures.
The fonts include glyph substitions for superscripts and scientific inferiors (which bisect the baseline).
See this tutorial on Adding OpenType Features to learn how to do this.

Updated to version 2.2 to fix a mapping problem and a problem with OpenType tags.

Version 2.5 adds a few more standard ligatures for fb ffb fh ffh fk and ffk (see the Typophile forums for a list of words that use these.
Features for Fractions and Alternate Annotation Forms were improved. Meaningful postscript names were added for glyphs used by OpenType features, e.g. oneighth.afrc or zero.onum.

Version 3.10 completes the Number Forms, Currency, Latin Extended Additional, and Dingbat character sets for Unicode 8.0.
