I recently saw an old cottage with its name written using small enamel tiles. The letters looked simple and legible but uninspired, they certainly didn't suit the look of the building. So I designed this set, with just a bit of personality to make people look twice (at least! and not because the letters are illegible)
On the keyboard you'll find the word space where it should be. On the "_" you find a line to join tiles should you not want a completely white large gap, and a filled word space on the "#" .
I will copy the UC to the LC, later. I am thinking about adding the MoreLatin set and then change the license.

For the same grammatical rules in using the small Eszett; research German and you'll easily find out why. :) Until relatively recently, not many fonts contained the capital, and those that have, have been the designers discretion. But now there finally exists an approved design for the character.
A simple answer for you: without the use of Eszett, many words would end up having three S's in a row. —Does that help?
But yes, I'll put it in, however, UC and LC will be the same. I'm adding the LC only because people seem to use it automatically for texts.
I am also working on a sister font to 'Plaque E' which will have a more obvious UC ß.
All this due to the dumbing down of grammatical/spelling rules as decided by the Kultusministerkonferenz. (imho as former German teacher; others call it simplification, to make writers feel better about their texts and to prevent more studious readers from finding reasons to pull their hair out - when seeing words like Litfasssäule or Fresssack for example)
But the discussion is far from over and some Länder as well as publishers and newspapers refuse the new grammar/spelling rules. There is hope anew that German will turn back to its former elegance, clarity, richness, complexity and difficulty.
I love this. I can definitely see this used on a cottage somewhere.
