Hi, I wanted to suggest making Junicode 1's italic versions of C, G and S available as a stylistic alternate. Personally, I find the less prominent serifs in the old version nicer looking than the designs in the current version of Junicode Two Beta. Or maybe a compromise with less spikey serifs on these letters could be reached, since e.g. the sloping of the S seems different in the new version, too?

Actually, I'm thinking about just going back to the old shapes. The present ones were a result of revisiting the old Fell typefaces, but Junicode's italics weren't really based on Fell, and my present shapes don't fit all that well.

This will go in the queue with the other things I have to do, but I'll get to it, God willing and the creek don't rise.
