Pretty neat, Rik!

Take care, Mike

A+ for that one Rik. Beleave it or not I had been thinking along the lines of a happy face too. Although it prob would not have been as "Cool" as yours. I have been hard at work on a different idea but I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

Finally got a few minutes of free time to font play.

Very nicely done Rik and Bill!

Nice, Rik, interesting and esoteric variation, Bill, and Frances, thank you: you found my reading glasses and all this time I thought they were behind the sofa.

I really wish someone who isn't a moderator would join in! Bob and Mike, you're cool, but lurkers...you're on, man.

Geez, here I thought I did contribute early on...

Here are a few from real life (whatever that is).

You did, Mike, you did, on the first page.

The early Apple advertisement is interesting in a number of respects. The advertisers really took a gamble on showing the brand logo and people, but not much of a photo of the computer, the "product" in an ad, you know?

The Cooper in the ad, also, is interesting. Look closely at the lowercase "e" and the "p' s. Unlike the out-of-the-box Cooper, this rendition has diagonally stressed stems.

Hmmm. Thought is was Windsor Condensed Black at first!
