Can anyone advise me on this one...
I am interested in the ligatures here. I believe they are refered to as BackLigatures, is this the right term??
Any suggestions for this particular font, or any other fonts with similar ligatures.
Thanxx

They’re accessed as “discretionary ligatures” in the OpenType menu in InDesign.

Also in a lot of Adobe OpenType Pro fonts, like Caslon (st, ct), Garamond (ct), Garamond Premier, Jenson, Minion, Warnock (latter all with ct, st, sp).
Galliard Pro has ct and st, its Italic additionally sp; same goes for Hoefler Text.
It seems just every new pro text font includes them … Of course, you could find even more in the realm of script fonts, or playful italics like Sauna (ch, ck, cl, ct, sh, sk, sl, st).

But – guess what – the winner for ligatures with a top arc (at least in my humble collection) is a sans: Meta Pro comes with cb, ch, ck, cl, ct, sb, sch, sh, sk, sl, sp and st!
