I just got an email from our friends over at
Carmen is a gorgeous, romantic typeface. As you can see, there is a ch ligature. I was really charmed by this, so I looked at what else there was. This gem has some great ones up its sleeve. There is of course the standard ff, fi, ffi, and ffl. But there's also ft and st. Oh, and ch, ck, cl, and ct. Oh yeah, and there's ffj, fft, fh, fj, ft, fh, and alternates for fi, fl, and ff. Also, sh, sk, sl, and sp. Lastly, there's a tt alternate.
The text figures are gorgeous (take a look at the 5), there are some good and useful ornamentals, and great language support.
Lastly, it's a package of three fonts (text, italic, and display) in OpenType format for only $85. Unfortunately, they're not available separately, but this is a gorgeous typeface for a great price.
