I wonder if the inverter of the N ever imagined that all his hard work would be reduced to nothing more than a square.

See? I can’t even spell “inventor” right because I’m afraid of overworking the N making it mad.

Steve that’s funny! I actually am bemused by the font and how I can read it clearly even though it’s so abstract.

Yup. We recognize words by their total shape, not by the sequence of letters. It’s pretty cool.

Ethan, I just had to tell you how much I loved hearing you refer to type as “juicy.” Different, but apt.

Thanks Milena, I was looking for an excuse to use ham radio and juicy in the same post!

Thanks for the post! I like to think that the original designer of the N would be happily blown away by the numerous ways his/her mark has been elaborated upon, morphed and studied. I love how versatile letter forms are.
