Long s and round s
The lowercase letter ‘s’ has two different forms depending on its context. The long ‘s’ appears at the begining of a syllable, the round ‘s’ at the end of a syllable. There are certain rules for ‘sp’, ‘st’ and ‘sch’. For German words Wasenbacher Expert chooses the right form of ‘s’ automatically by using the OpenType feature Contextual Alternates.
