Maranatha FG Book Font

Maranatha FG is a renewal of Rudolf Koch’s Marathon font. As yet, it comes in just one weight: Maranatha Book.

Marathon was cut by renowned typograph Rudolf Koch in several sizes. This font tries to emulate the size that was used in the 1951-1993 Protestant German hymn book (“Evangelisches Kirchengesangbuch” EKG) in many Antiqua editions. It contains a number of ligatures, some of which were used, not quite consistently, in that hymn book, namely the tz, which can be found on the } closing braces.
