Author's note
Maranatha FG is a renewal of Rudolf Koch's Marathon font. As yet, it comes in just one weight: Maranatha Book.
Marathon was cut by renowned typograph Rudolf Koch in several sizes. This font tries to emulate the size that was used in the 1951-1993 Protestant German hymn book ("Evangelisches Kirchengesangbuch" EKG) in many Antiqua editions. It contains a number of ligatures, some of which were used, not quite consistently, in that hymn book, namely the tz, which can be found on the } closing braces.
Use this font with kerning turned on, which also gives you automatic ch and ck ligatures. There is also a long s and the (irregular) ft ligature on {.
This font comes under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, encouraging both free use and further improvements. For details see https://scripts.sil.org/OFL
The reserved name is "Maranatha", originally a liturgical phrase of early Christianity, as in 1Cor 16:22, fitting for a hymn book typeface.
