what typeface would they be?

this is inspired by the thread "what typeface would michelle obama be?"...i started thinking about what typefaces other historical figures might be? post away if you have any thoughts!

here's one i was playing with...

i've always been a little fascinated by amelia earhart and chose SUBURBAN (emigre font) for her....there is a masculine/feminine feel to this font, that seems appropriate for earhart... i also like the loops where the strokes cross over each other that are reminiscent of loops an airplane might make (acrobatic airplane!)

NOLA Professors Respond...

We are so excited by all of the discussions that have been produced from our students posts. What a great learning experience for all involved! We never imagined how much this would engage our students and push them to respond, react, think and be passionate about typography and design! (Our classroom discussions have been quite lively.)
