Writing Prompt

Dear Client, 

I wanted to make my fonts spontaneous, but also ethical. The digital font that I present to you was inspired by my interest of shapes and how any little shape, such as a triangle, can be used to create something grand. The use of the angles and rotations of the triangles created what you see now. Sometimes I did not know how to put them together. I'm not going to lie. The triangles in some parts were tricky but I hope you like how they turned out. I call it, Pixels. 

My hand written font was inspired for my and your love of animals. As you told me in your previous letter. I took tails of any and all kinds of animals and made the letters you see now. Zebra tail for a long line, rabbit tail for a period, and so on. The final project will be spectacular. I used your favorites for some of the capital letters. I had to experiment with the tails. That is, I had to picture in my mind what tail would look best for a slanted capital A line. Good thing there is many tails to choose from. All I needed was a pencil and paper. Simple and defined as that. I call this font, Tails of the Alphabet. 

As I work, I keep 2 very important things in mind. I keep in mind, what the client, you said and want. But I also keep in mind my creativity and fun. I want to be able to give a little part of me to you and your art. That is why the sculpture font was so much fun! There were so many ideas buzzing through my mind and it was nearly impossible to pick one! But alas, I choose books. It's an interest that you and I share. I picked out some of my favorite books and placed them on the shelves of my home to represent letters and numbers. I hope you enjoy! It's called shelves of letters. 

Thank you for your belief in me, and I hope that you love looking at these fonts as much as I loved creating them!
