My latest project, Puffery,  updates the “Olde English” style of blackletter with Roman-based capitals—providing better legibility for those unfamiliar with the classic Fraktur capitals, and also to enable a neat all-caps setting. So I had to include a suitable capital Eszett, giving it some commonality with the lower case ß.
There are two variants of the typeface—Vintage Capitals (above) and Regular (below).

    Nice cap eszett! The Regular /U doesn't quite work though, IMHO. The Vintage one seems legible enough to use in Regular, in any case.
