Font-line-talk: Ben's font

· 1 message · 15 Nov 1994
Well, I'm reposting Ben Ford's font here, the one he refers to as 3 by 3.
He mentioned that some letters needed a little work, and I agreed, so I
tweaked some of them around. The originals are in the boxes. But it
occurred to me that it wasn't really a 3 by 3 font; it was more like a
2 1/2 by 3. That top line really can't go more than the lower part of it;
I tried and the letters looked stupid and out of proportion. In any case,
I like the font; tell me what you think. Oh, I also took out some of the
dots, like the ones on top of the B, D, E, F, P, and R. And I also shoot
for some blockier looking letters than Ben does. Any opinions, comments?

it's not much... I'm not that creative and I just like to diddle other
people's work. :)
