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.

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

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

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

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

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

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