Δε γνωρίζω εαν η Grande διατίθεται προς πώληση, όμως σίγουρα μπορείς να τη βρείς σε μορφή TTF/OTF στο διαδίκτυο --- πρόσεξε όμως, τέτοια αντίγραφα είναι φυσικά παράνομα.

I don't do my epsilons that way (down with the \varepsilon), but it does seem to fit the rest of the font a bit better than the original. But, eh. I agree with Nikos.

It is also not about æsthetics (or their subjectivity). My post was mostly referring to the technical and æsthetic integrity of the glyph (from a typography standpoint). My problem with the new epsilon is not that it isn't lunate, but that it seems rushed, disproportionate and largely unfitting to be part of this beautiful font. By the way, the lunate epsilon is as hellenic as the open one --- they come from different eras, but they are both of hellenic origin. Oh and another thing: Please observe the language of the post when commenting. Nikoxy: This is not about hellenism. It is also not about æsthetics (or their subjectivity).
