Author's note
Radium FG is a new digitisation of the Art Nouveau hot-metal font Radium published in 1905 by the German typefoundry Ludwig & Mayer.
It became popular in the 1970s when Hubertus Carl Hace Frey reworked the bold weight of Radius under the new name Charleston. It was used chiefly as a display typeface on musical album covers.
Radium FG has, like the original Radium, both a regular and a bold weight. I added latin character sets for most Western and Eastern European languages. It is available as a free font under the SIL Open Font License with the reserved name Radium. For details see https://scripts.sil.org/OFL
