The new version of Jura has been improved and extended to support more languages, including Vietnamese. This worklog tells the story of the process.

Origins
Graphical features of Jura are closely related to the Kayah Li part, with an offset to the diagonal nature of some strokes, unique for this script. Another detail, Kayah Li lacks the roundness of Latin.
Monoline Master
I discovered a better method for generating this master: with the remove overlap option off. This produces a much cleaner result, and eliminates the need for a post-filter cleanup.
Vietnamese
In a case of a modular typeface like Jura I tried to go with as few accent variants as possible. However some custom accents were built for this set.
Finish Line
The font inspector script was a great helper for refining metrics. I hope this time investment will pay off, and make kerning a lesser hassle.
