The Latin alphabet was used in the earliest Asturian texts. Although the Academia de la Llingua Asturiana published orthographic rules in 1981, different spelling rules are used in Terra de Miranda.The Latin alphabet was used in the earliest Asturian texts.

А потом как-то неожиданно присмирел, затих, даже плакать перестал. Но смотреть на него никто не решался. А к ночи куда-то исчез. Искали да так и не нашли…А потом как-то неожиданно присмирел, затих, даже плакать перестал. Но смотреть на него никто не решался. А к ночи куда-то исчез. Искали да так и не нашли…

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

Crisp and serrated, Tesseract is a study in modernity and restraint. As Tesseract plunged into classical references, it earned its contemporaneity through whetted endings and constrained curves, lending a focused aspect to texts and titles. With optical sizes for text and a display, Tesseract shimmers across media. The Display size plays the wide aperture and x-height card, with chiseled terminals and see-through counterspace. The Text size is quieter, with a firm and sturdy structure for immersive reading. The matching italics dance a vibrant staccato and complete the family. The crucible for Tesseract is made of many; and not unlike Walt Whitman’s multitudes, it contains paradoxes. Where round turns give affability and amplitude to the design, abrupt endings and spiky details grant some grave austerity to an otherwise delicate design. For adventurous users, Tesseract contains multiple dimensions. Dive in.
