Nirosta Typeface / Eszett

When I designed an eszett for Nirosta, I didn't realize that it had no place in my typeface—it’s one of the only Latin characters to have no uppercase.

The ß is one of my new favorite characters though—so I wanted to share the (ultimately unused) design of the elegant German “long s.”

ps: It seems like there have been some attempts to create/revive a majuscule eszett—do I know any German speakers on dribbble who could shed light on this?
