Major cool.

Ye Olde Andron: the italic long s is wrong—it should have no crossbar spur—or is this all part of the mockery?

it’s no crossbar spur, it’s an onset (Starting point in writing).

What do you mean by mockery –?

I could be wrong, but isn't an onset rather unusual in traditional italic long s's?

Horrible, the mock Tudor i mean! We’ve got some mock Tuscany houses around …

Mock Tudor

– If it would be a friend’s house, you would refuse then to step in?

The use in English of the word “mock” as an adjective to describe an imitation is somewhat like that of the French loan-word “faux”, not quite so scathing as the way “mock” is used as a verb.

Mock turtle soup is an English soup that was created in the mid-18th century as a cheaper imitation of green turtle soup. It often uses brains and organ meats ... [wiki description].

Lewis Carroll created the Mock Turtle character for Alice in Wonderland: the humour is implicit.
(George Lois did something similar in the 1960s, inventing the Nauga beast as the origin of Naugahyde, for a vinyl furniture product.

In the early 20th century, a postmodern housing style incorporating elements of Elizabethan (16th century) architecture was applied to houses and apartment buildings (blocks of flats) in the Anglosphere. This was down-market, and was satirized by the intelligensia as “Tudorbethan” (Poet Laureate John Betjamin’s neologism of Tudor and Elizabethan), or “Mock Tudor”—playing on the typographic similarities between Mock Turtle and Mock Tudor (homotypy?)

I’m not surprised that Andron English, so cleverly evoking Merrie England, is a hit in the UK—a tip of my (Robin Hood) hat to you, Andreas!

Merrie England... isn't that where the gentle Avon flows?

Cheers, Mr. Shinn! (Like to meet you wearing that hat one day :-)

… evoking merrie England

well, perhaps it’s that. Would be nice to replace all the capitals by blackletter glyphs though, and see what they would then make of it.

B.t.w., the initial idea of this kind of font was actually an evocation of *merrie Deutschland* (combined with other capitals) ... hope they dont’t feel out-fritzed now I made this confession ;-)

That long-s is not unusual. In fact small lefthand bars can actually be found
in a number of [entirely non-calligraphic] 18th century French designs (and
their revivals), most notably on the "el".

Having mentioned the initial idea, shall you complete the family, and also give us the other capitals in Andron 2 Deutsch?

... ?

K.

Are these capitals the roman form of your new italic?
They aren't like those of Andron 2 Deutsch.

K.

No, these capitals are something different. I draw some inspiration from the $, £ and € glyphs present in every font, forming some kind of its own.

... & somewhat "Frakturisch*" they are!
... but I must say, I was surprised.

* Is there such a word?

– somewhere in the mist between Scriptive and Fractive*. I used to explore that before.

* is there such a word?

;-)

"Mock Tudor"? NO!
... so, if an architectural metaphor were wanting
