A typical renaissance figurative alphabet

Figural alphabets have enjoyed increasing popularity since the spread of the art of printing in the 15th century. Depictions using human poses were particularly appreciated in humanist circles. Many artists experimented with the interpretation of a figurative alphabet.

The human alphabet used here is attributed by Albert Kapr to the graphic artist and carver Peter Flötner. Peter Flötner worked in the workshop of Adolf Dauer in Augsburg from around 1512 to 1528, then independently in Ansbach and from 1522 in Nuremberg. The woodcut on which the ingoFont is based appeared in print in 1534.

The font consists only of the letters from A to Z, and is therefore only suitable for initials or at most individual words. 

On the keyboard, capitals and common capitals are used identically.
