K22 Monastic

K22 Monastic is based on Monastic from Victorian Display Alphabets by Dan X. Solo. Monastic is also in Solo's The Solotype Catalog of 4,147 Display Typefaces.

Thanks to Poukha (poukha*gmail*com) for the scan of Monastic, and to Claude for the images of numerals and some cyrillic characters.

The alphabets are based on Poukha's scan. Since the Victorian Display Alphabets specimen sheet does not include numerals, some of the numerals were taken from the MacKellar, Smiths & Jordan 1892 specimen book and others from the image Cluade posted in alt.binaries.fonts. The few cyrillic characters in the font are also based on an image from Claude.

The font contains alternate characters for lowercase/small caps a, m and r. These can be accessed through [, ] and {, respectively.
