League Spartan

Weight

**A new classic, this is a bold, modern, geometric sans-serif that has no problem kicking its enemies in the chest.** Taking a strong influence from ATF's classic Spartan family, we're starting our own family out with a single strong weight. We've put a few unique touches into a beautiful, historical typeface, and made sure to include an extensive characterset – currently totaling over 300 glyphs. Over time, the open-source license will allow us expand League Spartan into a full family, with multiple weights and styles, and we're starting by releasing our first Bold style for this exciting, modern classic now.

    Contextual Alternates

    This feature, in specified situations, replaces default glyphs with alternate forms which provide better joining behavior. Like ligatures (though not strictly a ligature feature), contextual alternates are commonly used to harmonize the shapes of glyphs with the surrounding context.

    Glyph Composition / Decomposition

    To minimize the number of glyph alternates, it is sometimes desired to decompose a character into two glyphs. Additionally, it may be preferable to compose two characters into a single glyph for better glyph processing. This feature permits such composition/decompostion. The feature should be processed as the first feature processed, and should be processed only when it is called.
