1 Comment on “Altın Gün – Gece album art”
The version of Motter Ombra that was used here is an anonymous and unauthorized freebie digitization made in 1998 that floats around on the internet. It’s not well drawn and exhibits a number of differences.
Shown below is the official digitization by Motter Fonts at the top, with the freebie at the bottom. See for example the height of the lowercase l (el) compared to the caps, the top of t, and the kink in the top right curve of n.
Neither version includes the Turkish ı (dotless i). For the cover, this glyph was added ad hoc. Unfortunately, it’s too tall – it should align with the stem of n.
