About Fancy Diacritics

Focus
Unusual umlauts, odd ogoneks, catchy carons and other dodgy diacritics

Guidelines
All non-standard letter designs and usages are welcome, both good and bad. ‘Non-standard’ can refer to the shape, the size, the position, the context, and any other aspect that deviates from the norm. Feel free to comment on the level of quirkiness, especially if you are a native reader: Is it an interesting, beautiful solution, in its context? Or rather something that you would advise against?
Please do not post pics that simply show conventional diacritics.
Also: not so much looking for plain orthographic/typing errors (like e’ instead of é) – unless they are really curious in some way.

Sources
Vernacular lettering, signage, typeface specimen, fonts in use, handwriting – whatever.

Formal
Some context is okay, no need for cropping.


Thanks!
