Estrangela Talada and E. Syriac Adiabene, Revised by J.F. Coakley

Diane Collier was commissioned by J. F. Coakley to fix the “Syriac Abbreviation Mark” (SAM) and implemented it as a line without “bullets.” J. F. Coakley made minor changes to Estrangela Talada (e.g., lowering the left-joining nūn) and E. Syriac Adiabene (e.g., lengthening the ālaph). The following two fonts are now in version 1.21.

  1. EstrangelaTalada-1.21.zip
  2. ESyriacAdiabene-1.21.zip
