Absolution through geometry. Any variation is forgiven. This typeface takes a basic set of rules and explores the given possibility space. Absolution currently contains six alternative shapes for each letter. All alternatives are available separately and bundled together in one font if you buy the Contextual Bundle. The Contextual font also contains a script for jumbling the alternatives while typing for a whimsical effect.
