What a perfectly ridiculous idea.

Hmm.

I decided to give the italic a crank...

The 'di' needs some work... a little too swoopy.
But I think the classic 'ct' ligature works well enough.

There's been a disappointing lack of trash talking lately, so... EAT THIS, SUCKAS!

hmmm, no illustrator at home, but I do have p/shop 6

ligature
vs.
swash

I followed istitch's example and went with a triple-letter ligature... this is one that really should be its own letter, considering its phonetic butchery:

now, where can i get cooper black for free as i don’t have it?

then you'll just hafta freehand all your work. >^P (we don't do free)

fair do, I understand. i'm just skint as ever. cheers.

Fraktur fonts used to have tz ligs... Bonus for the fa lig?

Through and through, here is mine too:

Here it is with the ough as one lig:

It just occured to me that the grammar is incorrect. Opps. Hopefully you guys can overlook that and appreciate the ligatures.

Cheshiredave,
I am diggin' your "t-o" lig but please don't send it to Terrel Owens, he does not deserve it :-)

Really interesting stuff, all. I'm quite fond of the gh ligs from both Pica and Chris.

And in the spirit of battle, I have to call out the presence of many swashes trying to pass themselves off as ligatures. :)

Now I'd better get to work on mine.

In terms of fontellectual property, would it be fair use to post an EPS of the outlines of an alphabet from the font in question so the font-poor among us could still sink their teeth into it?

(and is this maybe a question for a different forum?)

That bo is tricky; I read bama. (which is ideal for the crimson tide, but I suspect not what you had in mind)

Outlines?

last one from me I promise: in this case, form certainly does not follow

That is a real fun one Pica, makes me want to go and ask my doctor for a ct scan :-)

ChrisL

PS: Your edgy dg Cooper is brill dude!

i had to jump into the ring on this one

Sounds like wristy business Kris :-)

Another way is to use:

Zero decorum goin' down in da forum,
Amatuers be playin'
I know there's no delayin'

Witness this:
The Dezcom Diss!

OK, time for a fun one--that often desired double g :-)
