Marathon was cut by the renowned typograph Rudolf Koch in different sizes. This font tries to emulate the size that was used in the 1951-1993 Protestant German hymn book ("Evangelisches Kirchengesangbuch" EKG) in most 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.

Every typeface has a voice. Some whisper, some shout — and the best ones say exactly what you mean before a single word is read.
Pick a font that fits your idea, set it with care, and let the letters do the talking. From bold headlines to the smallest caption, good type stays clear at every size — clean curves, even spacing, and characters that feel at home together.
A well-made font carries your message across posters, screens, packaging and print without ever getting in the way. That is the quiet craft of typography: structure you feel, but rarely notice. 0123456789 — the details matter.
