Designer's Notes

Maranatha FG is a renewal of Rudolf Koch's Marathon font. As yet, it comes in just one weight: Maranatha Book.
Marathon was cut by the renowned typograph Rudolf Koch in different sizes. This font tries to emulate the size that was used in the 1951-1993 Protestant German hymn book ("Evangelisches Kirchengesangbuch" EKG) in most Antiqua editions. It contains a number of ligatures, some of which were used, not quite consistently, in that hymn book, namely the tz, which can be found on the } closing braces.

Use this font with kerning turned on, which also gives you automatic ch and ck ligatures. There is also a long s and the (irregular) ft ligature on {.

This font comes under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, encouraging both free use and further improvements. For details see https://scripts.sil.org/OFL. The reserved name is "Maranatha", originally a liturgical phrase of early Christianity, as in 1Cor 16:22, fitting for a hymn book typeface.
