New project for #typography & #calligraphy fans: we just launched the ARETE visualisation – a visual and interactive history of the Latin alphabet!
https://uclab.fh-potsdam.de/arete/en
The visualisation reveals the diversity and variance of the Latin alphabet in the last 2000 years.
The project is not complete. Rather, it is a first attempt to bring the history of the alphabet into an interconnected structure and to present the major historical developments in a clear, evocative way. We welcome feedback!

This is the first I've come across it, but I immediately want to buy it and start using it. I particularly like its 4 sets of numerals (lining aka regular; oldstyle; tabular lining; and tabular oldstyle).

I eventually discovered Proza, designed by Jasper de Waard at Bureau Roffa: http://bureauroffa.com/about-proza. It comes in six weights in both roman and italic, includes small caps and nine sets of numerals, and is absolutely beautiful.
