sed logotype/workmark "ſᶼ"

[Brian Inglis]

Hi folks,

I was reading articles about medieval Latin manuscript ligatures and 
abbreviations in typography, and came across an abbreviation for the Latin "sed" 
Eng. "but", and thought that would make a good logo, logotype, or wordmark "ſᶼ" 
for sed, as I have never seen a graphic used for the package.

Mention:

explanation:

        https://textcreationpartnership.org/docs/dox/latabbrs.html

The abbreviation uses the Latin small long S "ſ" followed by the hooked Z "ᶼ" 
indicating an "ed" or "et" suffix.

The Unicode characters required are:

ſ  U+017F   LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S
ᶼ  U+1DBC   MODIFIER LETTER SMALL Z WITH RETROFLEX HOOK

as the other hooked Zs looked too large and spaced out with the thin S:

ſȥ      ȥ  U+0225   LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH HOOK
ſʐ      ʐ  U+0290   LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH RETROFLEX HOOK
ſᶎ      ᶎ  U+1D8E   LATIN SMALL LETTER Z WITH PALATAL HOOK

and the modifier is kerned tightly in common proportional width fonts I tried, 
giving a nicer, more "graphical" rendering closer to scribal calligraphy, 
allowing it to be used anywhere Unicode is supported, or as a display graphic.

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis                 Calgary, Alberta, Canada
