Plethora was designed by Alejandro Paul and published by Sudtipos. Plethora contains 20 styles and family package options. The font is currently #46 in Hot New Fonts. 

A few years ago I've discovered the work of one of the most prolific typeface designers of the Bruce type Foundry in NYC during late nineteenth century. Browsing Julius Herriet's work I found a very unique kind of ligatures in his patented 'Old Style Ornamented' type design. Some letters were designed with a little top tail that allowed them to connect to each other. After that, I found that he also designed a single italic weight of the same font 7 years later. 

Since the beginning of the Opentype days I've been deeply obsessed with exploring different ways to build ligatures, so that lead me up to this point where I felt the need to create "Plethora", this new font inspired by Herriet's work. Extrapolating weights, adding variable technology and playing with additional interconnected letters and alternates. Definitely, Plethora means a large or excessive amount of something, and this font tries to bring back this abundance of details two centuries later. Available in 9 weights, from roman to italic, and also as variable format, "Plethora" supports plenty of latin languages and is a perfect choice for today's design tides.
