Looking to source the most beautiful U&Lc G/g

I know the publication of that same name had a fetish for the lower case ‘g’ from chesterfield.

what are your favoutites?

I’m not sure if I fully understand your question. Are you referring to the “U&lc” publication or to just U/lc in general?

If you are curious to poll personal favs for best uppercase “G” and lowercase “g,” then at this moment I have no “favourites.”

Past faces that I truly admired the design of “G” and “g” are:

Serif: ITC Galliard Italic by Matthew Carter

Sans Serif Display: Kabel by Rudolph Koch, Linotype

Certainly not the most “beautiful” (except maybe to a goth),

Gee, Hrant,
it’s a good thing designs aren’t cast in metal anymore or else someone could get hurt by that “g”

I’m not sure if this “g” can look good, but a least it looks happy.
