Request for Fraktur letters #1

Thanks for this beautiful font! It reminds me of GFS NeoHellenic.

I understand that this shall be a very time consuming task, but wanted to request if there's a possibility of Fraktur/Gothic/Blackletter letters. While lowercase doublestruck use is rare, I've seen lowercase Fraktur to denote Lie algebras. People probably use lowercase calligraphic in category theory?

Thanks!

I agree that lower case fraktur likely the thing most missing and I tried something but did not like it. Do you have any thoughts what it might look like? I am stuck trying to pair a fracktur/blackletter style with this handwritten font.

I don't really know, to be honest. I would have said something similar to lowercase GFSNeoHellenic, but it doesn't have the lowercase alphabet, and I know that the maintainer is not going to add it.

Some inspiration can be found in the Mathematica Sans fonts, I believe: notofonts/math#61 (comment). The Mathematica fonts are not publicly available though. I can share them with you if you want. I found them in my Wolfram Mathematica installation.
