More Animated Fonts



The animated vine font turned out well.

Still looking for a good lower case font.


The upper case was based on the roman columns, and there were no lower case letters for quite a while, but I have seen several that look OK next to them, just no diagrams for construction.

 A lot of fonts are Bézier Curves, but they don't have the same visibly decipherable construction

Looking for the mechanics of Liz Collini's designs

The slant makes the Italics difficult + no circles or compass instructions for the curves


Great source for caps

Charles Louis Simonneau's lower case alphabet is the best I have found so far, but I am not nuts about the V, X, or J, and there is no W
