Fixing & refining first-draft small caps for AT Lang
In my previous video, I explored generating small caps for AT Lang with RoboFont ScaleFast. In this video, I evaluate the results, get the OpenType features working, revise how I generate them, and then start actually fixing outlines.
AT Lang is available as a prerelease family at:
