Black Backslant

Acabáronse las vísperas, y la fiesta de Santa Ana, y quedó Preciosa algo cansada; pero tan celebrada de hermosa, de aguda y de discreta, y de bailadora, que a corrillos se hablaba della en toda la Corte. De allí a quince días volvió a Madrid con otras tres muchachas, con sonajas y con un baile nuevo, todas apercebidas de romances y de cantarcillos alegres, pero todos honestos. Pusiéronse a bailar a la sombra en la calle de Toledo, y de los que las venían siguiendo se hizo luego un gran corro; y en tanto que bailaban.Acabáronse las vísperas, y la fiesta de Santa Ana, y quedó Preciosa algo cansada; pero tan celebrada de hermosa, de aguda y de discreta, y de bailadora, que a corrillos se hablaba della en toda la Corte.

Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby. This was not the same building of which the stately ruins still interest the traveller, and which was erected at a later period by the Lord Hastings, High Chamberlain of England, one of the first victims of the tyranny of Richard the Third, and yet better known as one of Shakspeare’s characters than by his historical fame. The castle and town of Ashby, at this time, belonged to Roger de Quincy.Prince John held his high festival in the Castle of Ashby.

About

Spektra is a versatile multi-script type family that combines 5 scripts: Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Greek and Hebrew. It is a variable font with two axes: weight and slant. Each of the five weights is completed with an italic and a backslant style. The result is a highly expressive, characteristic and powerful type family. Spektra plays with the limits of its letter shapes, combines different locations, cultures and ideas and celebrates the differences among them.

The heaviest style is — for example — defined by the thickness of Arabic horizontals, which represent the idea behind the design: consideration of the design characteristics of every script.
