Paging Miguel Hernandez…

I would love to see what Miguel would do with this.

Holy crap he would own this thing... One look at those fonts and my self-confidence ebbs away like the tides...

A little belated, but here are some A’s for Jared. Didn’t have a compelling idea for this challenge myself, but here was a little thing I could contribute.

I adored the wood type ideas. If I were a pixel-font-using designer, I’d be all over those.

Pica’s knotwork gets my vote, closely followed by Glen’s Ming the Merciless.

Thanks for the positive

Glen Villegas — Fri, 3 Feb 2006 11:53:02 -0800

Thanks for the positive response!

I’ve been making more letters. I’ll re-post as soon as I get done.

Anyway there goes my lunchbreak today:

wowsville, glen! that tri-line blackletter knocks my socks off! totally rad!

(okay i know i should be shot for using three !!! in a row, but i really was blown away)

I don’t have the time

Jared Benson — Fri, 3 Feb 2006 10:25:52 -0800

I don’t have the time anymore today to play with it but I invite anyone who’s interested to take it and elaborate on it. Do me a favor and change the “A” - I avoid those rounded-top As at all costs, but just got lazy this time.

Jared, how about Van Halen?
