Beautiful font, fantastic job ... well done all!
Thought I'd have a quick go at an illuminated letter.

Excellent work Su. The illumination looks as though you could feel it.
May I ask where the latin text came from? It looks vaguely familiar, but it has been almost 50 years since I studied Latin.

I believe the text is Lorem Ipsum available here: http://www.lipsum.com/ It is used as a text filler.
Hi astrosci, it is actually translatable Latin and not the false Lorem Ipsum text.

Thanks for your feedback Bill, Larry and Frances ... and many thanks to all the Font Team for this font.
Bill: sorry to disappoint... astrosci is correct the text is a couple of snippets of Lorem ipsum. I didn't think it meant anything much either, but it is supposedly part of a treatise from Cicero (45 BC) 'On the Boundaries of Goods and Evils' (although it has been somewhat scrambled). So I guess there is some real Latin in there (I didn't study Latin so I wouldn't really know).
'The original passage began: Neque porro quisquam est qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit (Translation: "Neither is there anyone who loves grief itself since it is grief and thus wants to obtain it").' - quoted from Wikipedia website.
Larry: The capital F was originally 'David B'. Then I decided to redraw it as it wasn't interesting enough. I didn't use the Burgeon font to redo it, as it was just a few added adjusted ellipses and some line/node reshaping. Interestingly though, I did have a go at capital letter decoration using the Burgeon font before doing this. Just had another attempt and the below is what I came up with.

Thanks Su. That is very surprising because Lorum Ipsum typically will not even be detected as Latin nor translate by Google's translator.
You mentioned Cicero and that must be why it seems familiar to me.

Beautifully done Su, I really these.
Here is another play from me. I used the ornaments to add a bit of style to this layout. Daffodil month is a campaign from the Canadian Cancer Society to raise awareness and funds. daffodills are sold by the bunches and the last couple of years they have had a daffodill pin campaign like Remembrance Day poppies but yellow daffodils instead. The pins are a symbol of remembrance of loved ones lost to cancer and of support to those fighting it.

Su was that letter put together using the Celebrated Burgeon Ornaments font behind the letter F? Looks like it to me. Good job, I like it a lot.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
That is beautiful Su! Thanks for playing!
I'd like to see some more font plays here! Surely these beautiful ornaments must have inspired a few ideas!

Now that I have sent the Round Head file to Gary to review I will start on a font play, but after a good night of sleep.
