Least Favorite Letter
Did you know that the letter D is a very awkward letter? It may actually be my least favorite letter in the Latin alphabet. It’s just so…so unbalanced. It’s like a half circle but not. It’s straight on one side and round on the other. Usually the top is more curved than the bottom which creates weird proportion problems. It’s just awkward and I wonder if true typographers feel the same way.
Even though it is awkward and I don’t like it, I decided I wanted to make a drop cap alphabet and I am. So what does that mean? It means I had to make a stupid d. Should I say dumb d instead to create an alliteration? Ok, so it means I had to make a dumb d. Hope you like it. I kind of do.
I suppose I sort of know what you mean… but I dont mind D. although if you pushed from the flat side it would fall over…..
*disclaimer* So, I’ll try to stop myself…(there I go again) but apparently I like ellipses. So, yeah, sorry about that.
I am completely impressed with the article I have just read. I wish the author of smouldendesign.com can continue to provide so much productive information and unforgettable experience to smouldendesign.com readers. There is not much to say except the following universal truth: The only advantage in making computers understand English is that it will prove once and for all that programmers can’t write English. I will be back.
