isn't the ſ meant to be "ss"? Impling the ttle is "Progresss"?
That’s a long s, not a German Eszett (ß).
ok, but how would it be read? is the actual correct version Progreſ the way I think it should be?
It’s a stylistic thing, it’s no different from a standard S. The opening of the US Bill of Rights is written the same way
bloody hell. So... back in the day was the rule to use ſs instead of ss ? I always assumed ſ was just eszett/ß
