Case Sensitive Forms
When the ‘Change to caps’ function is applied from within an application (not when text is typed in caps) appropriate case-sensitive forms are automatically applied. Regular brackets, parentheses, dashes and hyphens are replaced with their capital forms. This feature also changes Oldstyle Figures to Lining Figures automatically.

All Small Caps
This feature turns capital characters into Small Capitals. It also replaces numerals and punctuation with small caps variants. Only the Marat Small Caps fonts contain this feature.

Contextual Alternates
Marat’s ‘f’ is designed so that its hook disappears completely in the stem of a following character with ascender. For other problematic characters this features replaces the regular f with a more narrow version to avoid collisions with following characters.

ON
Ligatures
Ligatures are designed to improve the kerning and readability of certain letter pairs. For example, when this feature is activated, typing ‘f’ and ‘i’ will automatically produce the ‘fi’ ligature. Using ligatures does not affect the spelling and hyphenation of your text in any way.

Ordinals
This feature replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms.

Lining Figures
Marat fonts contain various styles of numerals within each font. Proportional Oldstyle Figures with their ascenders and descenders come standard as they work well in running text. The proportional Lining Figures feature changes standard figures (and currency symbols) to Lining Figures which are specifically designed to work well with capital letters.

Tabular Figures
Tabular figures are for use in tables where numerals need to be aligned vertically. Tabular Figures are available as an OpenType feature and have a fixed width in all weights. Marat fonts include Oldstyle and Lining Tabular Figures and currency symbols.

To avoid confusion between a zero and the ‘o’ character, a dotted zero glyph is also available.

Discretionary Ligatures
The discretionary ligature feature creates real arrows when you type the combination -> (right arrow), <- (left arrow), -^ (up arrow) or ^- (down arrow). A second set of arrows comes when typing -->, <--, --^ or ^--. Discretionary ligatures are off by default in Adobe applications.
