Here I thought I was going to have a hard time with the “q”. I had completely forgotten about “quicksand”, one of the nicer looking free fonts out there…

I resisted Comic Sans’ siren song, and did not succumb to the temptation of Helvetica (which is one of my top 10 faves). For some reason, I just couldn’t go 3-for-3 with this one… I just realized the crop marks showed up on the jpeg, but I don’t care to spend more time with Papyrus … Read more

When I set off on the “alphabet series”, there were a handful of fonts that, from the get-go, I knew I wanted to use. OCR was one of them. I used a not-too-old self-portrait (I guess you could call it that) and decided to give myself some digital “hair” replacement. Enjoy!

In case an apology needs to be made I promised myself I wasn’t going to use helvetica for this. That said, I didn’t set out to the typeface I ended up using. How did this happen? I started looking at the different looks of each “h” typeface, and I noticed how much hobo’s “h” looked … Read more

I learned two things working on this “g” piece. 1) I have a really sucky selection of “g” fonts on my Windows machine. And 2) I really like the double storey “g” over its single storey brethren.
