Ex.: In my new ISRI Font Series, there are old-style forms for <C> and <G> (that are boxy in appearance), and for <T> (like a larger copy of the usual lowercase letter—with the vertical stroke expanded a bit at top past the horizontal cross-stroke, and the bottom-right hook), which would be used in old-time documents (to make it look like the 1500s-1600s, or to make it look like it was written by a moron...). Most of us would use such a command (and/or add-on applet) to switch the forms of—let's say—the capital velar nasal letter *Eng* <Ŋ> (to make it look like either a capital <N> or a large lowercase <n> in form).
